I saw few hedgehogs run over on the roads last few days , they mist be juveniles who have struggled to find food and could not go into hibernation yet. So desperately sad

I heard these tiny squeaky voices coming from pigeon's nests near the high street today, in this freezing cold weather . Poor little ones must be feeling this cold more than the others. You have to give it to them, they are such a tough birds

Blackbirds are finally back in my garden, saw 2 of them having food

Just seen this, should have been NOT welcome in the garden, but they do scarper as soon as they see me. Lady across the road that moved in around three years ago has got two of them.

It always puzzles me why they a...

I had a visit from a young female Sparrowhawk this morning. She had grabbed a Collared Dove from out of my neighbours tree(I think) and was devouring it on top of my garden wall. I have some photos which I will post later. I love Collared Doves, RIP sweet thing :( . I know, I know, Sparrowhawks hav...

My garden has never been a permanent home for Coal Tits and they are irregular visitors. I have one at the moment who is busily reducing the SFHs one by one.

That's wonderful JS , they are super sweet birds
