Whats birds visit your garden?

....... Looking out this morning add Thrush and a noisy Magpie couple to my list.
We had the bedroom window ajar last night and I heard an Owl in the woods that I had forgotten about, I know it doesn't count but just goes to show that you hear and see these birds and just accept that they are there, until of course they are not.

 

These aren't all regulars....some only appear when we get a bit of snow so not often:

Starlings
greenfinches
goldfinches
wrens
robins
pied wagtails
grey wagtails
yellow wagtails
dunnocks
blackbirds
magpies
song thrushes
feral pigeons
wood pigeons
collared doves
lesser spotted woodpecker
house sparrows
crows
herring gulls
sparrowhawk
chaffinches
longtail tits
blue tits
great tits
coal tits

Goldfinches come everday and I see large flocks of them. I'd love to see a nuthatch, a siskin or a jay in the garden. Maybe one day!

No sparrows, or starlings any more

 

Hmmm. The blue tits and great tits have taken the huff. I dared to go away for 10 days and the bird feeders ran out . I filled everything up as soon as I got back last night and everyone else has been back today but no great tits or blue tits. I expect they'll be back soon though - I have best selection of bird food in the village

 

How could I forget Starlings!

 

We don't get starlings here! :( which is a complete turnaround from where we used to live. The crows drive off magpies as well, you see the occasional mid-air chase

 

Titmouse is the most frequent guest in my garden. But recently my friends from Mefaglowers said that their often guests are sparrows

 

I forgot coal tits

 

Those pigeons should be happy it ain't the 1940's.
Found this:

 

I was rather intrigued about this Pigeon Service Manual so fired up good old Google and found this:

From the Victoria (Oz) State Library:

and this:

http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk...rvice-of-their-country-the-pigeon-manual.html

Turns out the manual was written in 1919.
I should have watched more episodes of Dastardly and Muttley.
