com is on the end of my email i didnt put the right name on the last emai. I also have had a lot of pigions in the garden and a yellow tit but am still worried about the sparrows, why have they diserpiered?
Through the winter had lots of small garden birds, blue tits, coal tits, long tailed tits, great tits, 2 robins, dunnocks, goldfinches, bull finch....... but over last week or so the magpies, jackdaws have appeared and seem to have scared away the lovely little birds. Have cleared away all ground food and hope the ywill get the message. the jackdaws even try to get on to the metal hanging containers with fat inside!!!! Any ideas?
until we have a cull on sparrowhawks none of us will be seeing many small songbirds in our gardens. annabel you're very priveleged to see so many little birds in your garden, I live in the country and hand on heart I cannot remember the last time I saw a goldfinch, or rarer still a bullfinch.
just sen a bird I can't identify. Thought it was a female blackbird but after looking through field glasses it is not. Same size and shape but has speckled breast,rusty brown head and same colour but dense darker rust coloured back, quite beautiful.Anybody any clues, def not a thrush!
I have feeder which birds (mostly sparrows) empty every day, have birdbath which birds normally fight to use, have trees and bushes that normally abound with birds chirping and playing but suddenly yesterday morning (mon. 15 aug. 2010) not a sparrow to be seen, and they have not returned today,(tues. pm.). Does anyone have an explanation.
Lovely to read about all the wonderful birds who are visiting your gardens. I will stick with it and hope that the birds will come to my garden eventually. This morning I was visited by a lone grey squirrel who jumped up onto the top of the arbour, grabbed a big piece of apple, tried to get down to the seed feeder, failed, and departed. My first visitor - not quite what I had in mind but exciting nonetheless!
