In my yard we have starling, collared dove, starling, pidgeon, starling and some starling. There's been goldfinch and pied wagtail, blackbird and housesparrow in the past. And my wife saw a sparrowhawk take one of the doves but that doesn't count cos I didn't see it. Apparently there was blood and feathers everywhere.

Not a great deal at the moment, had to take the feeders down because I saw a Goldfinch with Trichomonoasis at the weekend, damn it !

![]() My garden is quiet! I hardly see a Blackbird lately. Dunnocks, Woodpigeons, Blue & Great Tits are the main visitors., oh, and 2-5 feral pigeons put in an appearance most days. A flock of 10 L T Tits yesterday was a lovely sight!

Long-tailed tits in the garden are great Judith. I only get 1 or 2 in the depths of winter when they come in for a feed. Today I've had about 6 Goldfinch at the nijer seed, 2 Blue tit on the fat balls, 4 Greenfinch & 2 Chaffinch at the sunflower hearts, my usual horde of pigeons on the tables, and a couple of Magpie on the shed roof.

I do think the RSPB line on what we should do if we find birds with Trichomonoasis is fundamentally flawed. Their advice is to take down your feeders and disinfect them and leave them down for a week or two, to try at stop the spread of the virus. Which is fine if your the only person in your birds domain with feeders up.

Not much here, Long Tailed Tits occasionally, Blue Tits less frequently than mid summer and few Blackbirds. There are always Magpies!
Hundreds of Swallows and Martins overhead on their way to the Bill or the Fleet. A couple of times I have been lucky enough to have a Wheatear and Black Redstart stop in the front garden, refuellling before their journey. |
