The last few days in the Garden has seen a big increase in birds has anyone else noticed this?
3 Redpoll always early in the morning don't see them for the rest of the day.
30+ Siskin my Niger seed is taking a hammering.
The Starlings are dropping in numbers now will be sad to see these go.
10 Goldfinch these keep their distance when I am in the Garden.
My new Robin had the misfortune of having to watch this one kill the usual one.
60+ House Sparrow these only come to the garden to drink as they prefer next doors seed.
The friendly Dunnock sits on the end of the camera and takes seed from the hand.
We're getting increased numbers of Goldfinch and Chaffinch at the moment. The record was 20 Goldfinch around the feeder (8 on it, and the other 12 picking up fallen seed). Starlings have dropped in number, but a few eat from the coconut halves. The numbers of Tits, Robins, Sparrows, and Dunnocks havn't fluctuated much. I'd love to see a picture of the Dunnock eating from the hand!
ReplyDeleteNice set Phil, had three Brambling in garden yesterday plus a couple of Siskin, loads of Goldfinch about same as Edward, about 15 GreenFinch, single Coaltit etc
ReplyDeleteLovely images. Our last day high up in Madog`s Wells, still plenty of tits and nuthatch. I have just been taken to the highest point above Madog`s Wells, with nothing between me and the Russian URALS. Huge flock of starlings up their. Mike knows you Brian.
ReplyDeleteSiskin just turned up here (max count of 10) to add to the 30+ Goldfinch, 4 Redpoll and the other normal stuff
