If it knows there is a good source of food butterfly, it could well return. I have had them for several years now. They turn up November and leave late February to mid March.

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
My bird visits have dropped off again. Even the usual suspects seem to be fewer in number. I may have had a Sprawk visit to scare them off but I didn't see it.

On a brighter note, my little cute pied wagtail has returnedWillpar wrote: Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:09 pm If it knows there is a good source of food butterfly, it could well return. I have had them for several years now. They turn up November and leave late February to mid March.

Good news about the pied wagtail butterfly. My two are still around. I think one may perch on the window board or the railings when it wants to get my attention. Seems to fly from that direction when i go out with food sometimes.

Usually get two to three wood pigeons each day. But this morning there were five , two on the large plot and three on the small one. Some bickering going on in the small plot. Sorted themselves out eventually.

I occasionally get Nuthatch, GSP and Siskins coming to the feeders. At the moment they are coming several times a day. I feel lucky.
