A visitor at my mum's that I could hear snuffling as I walked out of her front door.

Ive Just had a Mistle Thrush in the garden. It was close to my patio door for maybe a minute so im quite sure of the I.d.
Near it were 2 Dunnocks but we get lots of them.

If you look carefully between the hedgehog house and the planter on the right two hogs side by side, the larger one pushes the other one out of the way.

A colony of geese seems to have taken up residence in one of the fields on the way to work: they also like sitting on the edge of the cycleway.

Female Blackcap appeared in garden on Wednesday. Didn't see her or the long-staying male yesterday, so I thought they'd eloped, but here she is on the peanut feeder a few minutes ago.

Used to get blackcaps regularly in the garden but not so much recently. Also known as "The March Nightingale" back in the day apparently.

The male I mentioned up thread seems to have taken up permanent residence in our garden. I'm surprised the little bugger can still fly with the amount of fat balls it gets through.

Just been for a stroll in the park. Saw 2 Song Thrushes and 1 Dunnock but not a lot else.

A pair of Siskins on the nyger seed feeder a few minutes ago. But of a cacky shot through the garage window. I need to wash it and cut back some of the climbers in front.

Good to see. Our pair have turned up again despite not being seen all winter. Must nest nearby.

They've been coming on & off for a while now, I couldn't catch the cock bird peering round the feeder, though he did a couple of times.
A couple of years ago we had a pair of Greenfinches visiting as well, then one went missing and then no more sightings of the remaining bird. They're getting quite rare now.

Placed the wildlife camera within the hog feeding house

Erm ...

Something had been chewing on this before depositing it on my driveway.
