Re: MAGPIES

I had a magpie fledgling in my garden today. It was obviously guided by parents, but also, the whole flock came to welcome the little one and introduce themselves!

Re: STARLINGS

I envy you. I saw 1 lone starling fledgling few days ago and was getting ready for the noise and usual mayhem but I haven't seen any since. I heard the familiar sound that (and maybe the next) day and nothing since than. The silence is deafening. Very unusual :(

There was a fledgling robin in the garden this morning. Not too bad at flying, but with all the cats around here, it had better stay high up.
Lovely news :clap: , lets hope it learns quickly to stay safe.

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

I bought some natural wool of Ebay and put it out in my garden as a nest material offer about a month ago, but didn't see any takers. Until this morning, when I was delighted to see a great tit came and pulled a good beak-full and took it away :D . I was in the garden at the time but that didn't de...

Good news Butterfly. Is the same here, but am getting a couple of rooks now looking for food. There is a rookery close by, and they are nest building.
Oh thats really lovely , I love rooks but unfortunately I don't get to have any rooks in my area
