Re: WHAT I DIDN'T SEE TODAY

A very windy and rainy day and I have seen very little wild life. I don't blame them as I could have stayed in bed and missed nothing.

Re: Squirrel

Good natural foo JS. Aren't they a bit sticky? Yes they are. The new arrival squirrel is a bit braver than the resident. I caught it raiding the feeders twice today but it only shifted back into the tree while the other always scarpered off out of the garden. My waved arms and threatening behaviour...

Re: Squirrel

I had two squirrels in the garden this afternoon. For once they weren't trying to get at the hanging feeders. Todays target was the rosehips of the Dog Rose which I have never noticed before.

Re: TREES

Thank you JS, i had a read up about it but says that ash and rowan are not related. But my rowan has lesions on it like it says ash has. At the base there is a very big gash in it ore something like that. When the weather is a bit better will make a video of it to show what is going on. But it the ...

Re: TREES

Went out with bird food this morning, noticed that one of the limbs f the rowan had broken off in the wind. Not a large limb hick wise. First thing I had noticed after I picked it up was how light it was and completely dry inside. Had noticed that for a couple of seasons it had a bit of die back on...

Re: WHAT I DIDN'T SEE TODAY

I believe great/blue tits had a bad breeding season because of the rain this year (at least that's what I read somewhere) so I don't know if that's something to do with lack of them in my garden. I can't remember when was the last time I saw one in my garden :( They rely on the caterpillar boom in ...

Not seen by me but reported in Devon birds yesterday. Three parakeets seen over the way. Just around a few hundred yards from where I live.
They may like the Devon weather and decide to stay. I'm looking forward to your video of them. :)

While out today, seen a butterfly on the wing, probably a red admiral.
It's not butterfly weather around here. I think I will not see another one this year.
