You were right Mac,i needed a new pond liner in this year but black birds had nested in a bush right next to the pond,so that put that job on ice.The sad thing was an unhappy ending as all four chick fell straight into the pond and drowned.I was hoping to be there when they were about to leave the nest but sadly i was'nt
Sorry HM i changed my name again this morning due to a very demanding female Whom i do not wish to mention,but for some unknown reason she thinks that it rather suits me.
I do agree with you CN I also think that for those who do prefer a neat clipped hedge throughout the summer should just try to observe whats going into the hedge and even have a quick look along the hedge or bushes just to check.After all farmers always leave their hedges to be cut at the back end,this gives all of the wild life to do their thing then leave.We must also take into account that some birds "dependind on weather conditions " can have upto three clutches of eggs.
i have one in my garden.. i think the nemotode for slug and snail erradication hasnt helped... i throw my snails out on my path for them to eat.. rather than killing them outright.. soon get cleared up.
we hve house martins every year before they set off.. ducking and diving for bugs over the cliff edge.. and at times come right above your head... move very fast so hard to get a picture..
i cn honestly say that i have beenhere for 12 years and only had fieldfare once when heavy snow came.. never had red wing etc. visit
used to get finches alot but they have also declined in my garden.. lots of sparrows house, hedge and tree, loads of starlings, two robins who are here all year round. once keeps me company in the potting shed.. so cute
one pair of blackbirds that dont let much else feed on the ground when they are here.. funny to watch them get rid of others.. 2 thrushs, but no song thrush.. and some dunnocks and loads blue tits, long tail tits and wrens..
