I have 2 woodpigeon fledglings coming to my feeders, I think they might be siblings, so so cute :hug2: . I think parents are with them too, and I think its their parents because 2 adults eat near them but don't chase them away when they take over the food dish :D

I have a poorly looking Starling hanging around at present. It seems to be able to feed OK visiting the bird table a couple of times but it is spending a lot of time scurrying around on the floor and does not have the usual strut and energy you associate with Starlings :(

I've seen a big flock of blue tits in my neighbour's garden today, never seen such a big group flying around, at least 20 of them :eek: . It was so lovely to see them in such great numbers, buzzing around the garden in all directions :love: :flying:

I am blessed at the moments with not one, not two but three Nuthatches coming to the feeders. There are two larger ones and a smaller one. Have seen both large in together and a large and smaller in together but not the three together. I wait in anticipation.
