I have a bucket near my outside tap, which I left half full of water yesterday, not bothering to empty it. That was a mistake because today, I looked in the bucket (was going to empty it) and saw a dead mouse inside. It clearly fell in and couldn't get out, and just drowned :cry2: I was thinking wha...

About this time every year I have a pair of fledgling Jackdaws. The nest is in a chimney about 5 doors away. The parent birds are with me most of the year. This year there are three fledglings and they are pillaging the fat balls. :nod: That's lovely JS , jackdaws fledglings are so cute, with their...

I have been away for a few days but my daughter has been keeping an eye on the feeders etc. She says the Starling fledglings have been arriving over the weekend but two of them have been killed by the Sprawk! Such a same :( it seems that their fledglings have been decimated this year , both by cats...

They look cosy on the bird table sitting relaxing

I am delighted to report that I saw not one but 2 hedgehogs in my garden last night, at the same time! :hedgehog: :rara: Since I made my garden accessible for them by making 2 holes in my garden fence, I kept getting a glimpse of one (might be a different one every time :unsure: ) hedgehog coming fo...

Here is 3 of them waiting for me to serve some food

What I didn't see today or any other day for some time now is a Collared Dove. Not so long ago there always seemed to be a least a pair hanging around waiting to get on the SFH feeder but I haven't seen one for months. :shrug: I have not read anything suggesting they were struggling but my own theo...

My garden has been extremely busy lately, starlings fledglings are everywhere and creating mayhem as they usually do, jackdaws are around too taking suet away clearly feeding their babies, a pair of GSW are also taking suet away all the time and I saw a couple of blue tits taking a nesting material ...
