I had a lovely little wren in my garden today, foraging and exploring

, such a treat to have these cute birds around

Still no sign of blackbirds. I see them in my neighbour's garden, but for some reason they are boycotting mine

There you go! Sorry, it's the best I can do at this distance

Great Spotted Woodpeckers are back. Had two males the other day. Female is also coming to the feeders. Female does look cleaner and tidier than the males.
Female feeding this morning

I have only ever seen Stock Doves at a distance. I would be delighted to get one in the garden.

For the second time this year I had a visit from a Song Thrush

. I had put some small pieces of leftover turkey on the bird table which it was enjoying until a Blackbird decided enough was enough and chased it off.

A couple of ltt`s very briefly, as some starlings came in and frightened them off.
