Thanks

This is what it is , I saw it at least 10 times today and came in and checked , then went back out again , last year about 20 turned up for about a week then I didnt see them again , saw about 3 at the same time alongside the river feeding on insects coming out of the river

Wow Spruce, I love the nightingale's melodies. Have you heard it sing at night by your stretch of river? I am quite envious ....

 

Good going Spruce!

 

Six-spotted Ladybird in the garden when I unfurled a Pyracantha I bought last year:



Do they hibernate or something?

 

Jens I will listen on utube so I know what to listen out for , its deffo I have crossed checked 3 sites with pictures , and around by me would be ideal if only for it to feed.


Jen I have heard this for the past 6 years and I didn't realise what it was now I know

Then you are a very,very,lucky GC member Spruce,

Wow a nightingale. I've never seen one let alone heard one. You will be able to listen out for them now Spruce seeing as you can identify their song.

 

I only had a pocket point and shoot camera with me when I went to the plot this afternoon and saw this Hen Harrier on the top of a 20 foot + high Xmas tree. I also guessed the wrong direction it would fly off in! (it was nearly 200 feet away)

 

Jackdaws are known as part of the Crow family to be thieves. This one (taken through a window today, so not vey clear) and his friends are slowly stealing the compost from my rose bed for nesting.

 

I like their call Sheal. Aren't they handsome?. We have them here too, they nest a few gardens away as there are some large oaks.

 

Yes Jenny, they are handsome, I like all the crow family they can be quite humourous to watch at times. Have you noticed any mutation in the colouring of birds around you? We have quite a lot here now with pale grey almost silver backs.

 

I will try and get some piccies of a pair that come in and rummage around during the day,

 

I've noticed a pair of collared Doves squeezing their way in and out of a tightly clipped conifer so their nest building is well on the way and the nest boxes look busy too....
Every year i promise myself some nest box cameras and still haven't done itit's too late now.....but that's just reminded me .....a Bat Box and i know just the spot for it
