First chicks I usually get are Starlings, but not this year. I've a family of House Sparrows that feed under the bird table.

Once the Starling chicks arrive I wish the house was soundproofed .

I saw a poorly looking Woodie It sat on the fence looking very fluffed up and occasionally shaking it's head. If had been a Greenfinch I would have said tricho for sure.

Sorry to hear that Jack, its always sad to see a sick bird . You never know, it might recover. Lets keep our fingers crossed

Poorly Pidge turned up again today looking very slightly less poorly It continues to keep on stretching it's neck and shaking its head a little and I'm not certain it is seeing or hearing as well as it should. However it flies confidently and has no trouble landing

Bad luck about the pigeon, Jacksparrow . Time will tell .....
At least it seems a little better.

This beautiful jay has been coming to feed every day lately, such a gorgeous looking bird

Went for a walk earlier, and saw this interesting duck

A male Mandarin Duck. Usually they are escapees from collections but there are some feral flocks scattered around the country.
