I have a copy. Our 2011 Little Egret records are included in it they lingered from 26 June to 2nd November. Ooops! The Rough Legged Buzzard photo and record by Dennis Greenwood are included. Sadly probably not much else from our area. Once again they missed my late Iceland Gull record from the...

Sorry about the quality of the photos. This bird has appeared recently in the garden and I have no idea what it is. It looks sort of round and young and a bit confused so I wondered if it was a young thrush?? It's definitely NOT a robin even though it looks quite orangey from a distance. Kathy

Never thought I'd hear myself saying "bloody squirrels" but it's happening more than ever. This one was only about 20 feet away while I was sunbathing last weekend. Not too happy about the female deer wandering so close to the residential area though although it was nice to get the photos...

I've got my windows full open and I can hear lots of birds in the garden and beyond in the churchyard, but I just heard one that I have never heard before. I can only describe its call as 2 notes only, up down, up down, up down. That's it. I've listed on the RSPB website to every bird I have seen in the garden,...

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...

Obviously tons better than taking photos through the window glass! I was only about 5 ft from this one when I took this - it couldn't wait for me to put the food out!

Kathy · Kathy

How is that if I put something different down, something different comes?? I was told to put down Niger seeds to bring Goldfinches; no Goldfinches came yet but certainly Greenfinches and Bullfinches are now regulars - how on earth do they know? Especially with Niger seeds, which are black and extr...

Help with New Member's photos .... · Kathy

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...
