On the move




In case anyone wondered, I'm still alive.


I've moved house, that's all. Here's the garden. As you can see, it's quite big and open. I can't remember the garden list so far, but after a month it does include Peregrine and House Sparrow!

House Sparrow seems to be a major rarity just here, as we've only had two records of a single female bird.


Green Woodpeckers are somewhat more frequent, and a male Great Spotted visits every day for seed.


Up to five Pheasants also visit daily and are making a bit of a mess under the feeders.




Here are some of our noisier neighbours.

  1. Good to see you back :-) Great pictures, I wish we were getting so many birds in our garden.

  2. Yes, you've been missed. How you can expect us to be content with a Garganey for two months is a mystery.

    The garden looks great by the way. I've only a yard at the front and back of my terraced house but great woods at the end of the street.

    Local, Christmas highlights have been Shorelark and Firecrest.
