I have been amazed over the last few years by the huge variety of birds I now see. Starlings are back, flocks of fieldfares; goldfinches, greenfinches, black caps, several types of tit, sparrows, woodpeckers and higher up the chain rooks, jackdaws, crows, magpies, jays and further up the chain lots of buzzards and the occasional kite, heron, sparrowhawk. And those are just the ones I recognise - not forgetting an almost infinite number of woodpigeon and the occasional collared dove (i think) As well as the ducks that use the the lake in Lake Meadows and spend the night at a pond some way over the back of my garden that fly in tight and noisy formation in the evening. Lovely to see at last. I even forgive the upset blackbird - I hope the chicks did make it and that his throat feels easier in the morning

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Think you must have all the birds then @Pete.8 because we have almost none ......😕😢...one lonesome blackbird who sings on an evening for the roof of a neighbours house and that's it. None during the day.....I have stopped feeding them though( always do in summer). Hope your little blackbird has settled down now.
