WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

[Willpar]

Here they are Bikey, straight from the sturkling diaries. Forgot I videoed these. Wednesday over the fields. The farmer had planted rapeseed by the looks of it.

Wow! That's a lot of white pigeons

[Placido]

Bikey will do anyfink to publicise The SDs.

Most unusual, Willpar

The white pigeons were there again today, well in the next field.

went out with some bird food this morning, looked up and there were two birds I thought were playing around up in the sky. Turned out is was a magpie mobbing a bird of prey. Could have been a sparrow hawk but not positive about that. Good wo watch though.

It is usually Buzzards or Kestrels that the corvids try to see off.

More of what I didn't see today. Swallows and Martins now seem to have disappeared. A bit early. Maybe they know something about the weather.

I saw this little blue tit flapping its wings and hovering around the middle of seed feeder, looked like it was trying to perch in the air, sort of , and than I realised it must be used to some other garden seed feeder with more ports in the middle

[Willpar]

Hi Peregrine, yes this was brought up in the swallows thread. I reckon this year they have left up to three weeks earlier.

[peregrine]

Hi Willpar, same here. Been absent for the best part of three weeks, maybe even more.

Dunnock feeding on dropped food in the garden. Nice to see.
