Over the weekend I have been round all my nest boxes and have found very little activity at any of them, one had Blue Tits in and out and one open fronted box was visited by a Robin. Last autumn I put up two Tawny Owl boxes, yesterday evening I watched one but no activity, this evening I watched the other, and...

Member Help · Ste Rush

How is that if I put something different down, something different comes??

Especially with Niger seeds, which are black and extr...

I'm new to this game and have a garden for the first time in my life.

I know most of the ones I am seeing but could someone please put me r...

The Lancs Bird Report 2011 does not mention the 2 Little Egrets which stayed for around a week at Grane at the end of June 2011. Although it does mention 2 at Gawthorpe on 27th June - could the same birds have moved onto Grane?
