Collared doves are slowly working their way oop north, year by year. By the end of the century , they should be on Orrkney and Shetland as resident birds !
Just been on a trip to Homebase for decorator's dust sheets, so I picked up some suet/mealwork pellets to scatter on the ground - those together with the Waitrose Essential Raisins will get some of the ground feeders interested
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Blackbirds are having a wonderful time with the fallen apples - I was going to clear them away but realise they like them when they are going soft! Green woodpecker still making a daily visit, and amused to see a tiny wren hopping from pot to pot .
Wal I never ! Land sakes ! I am now officially ornithologially stunted. But seriously folks, Yellow tits live in Taiwan. Doesn't EVERYBODY know this ???? More to the point, what are Yellow Tootles ?

Well, I hope they've improved their website then - it couldn't cope with the traffic last year - heaven knows what attention a tv advert will bring

Lots of sparrows, yellow tits, collared doves and blackbirds here. Gorgeous to see from the kitchen window.

Peat,
Collared Doves have been on Orkney and Shetland since for 40+ years. They even bred in the Faeroes and Iceland in the early 70s.
Tootles, what are yellow tits?
