This bumbly was busy whilst I took its picture and then just a bit further along the path a thrush was getting it's evening meal but wouldn't let me get close.

A visit from our local woodpecker, today.

Nice to have these in one's garden but the nest box needs a metal plate screwed round the entrance, otherwise Woody will enlarge the hole to get its head in and hoik any chicks out to eat them. Google nest box plate - they are very cheap.

Thanks for that. I have had no success with nest boxes, we have three, so far, no takers. We have many blue-tits using the feeders, and "inspecting" the boxes, but, no-one moves in! Rather annoyed yesterday to discover next-door neighbour has blue-tits in their nest box, so, it would appear they are eating at "ours" and "living" next door!
