Hi,

My garden was invaded by about 10 long-tailed tits this evening. In four years here I have never seen any before. There's also some kind of warbler that's just turned up. So those in addition to all the ones I listed here the other day means I'm really very chuffed.

Now I'm more convinced my cull of the tree-rats is paying off handsomely.

All I need now is a hedgehog or two.

Stork.

I had about 30 starlings, including juveniles, land on my feeders yesterday and the rest were on the grass underneath, but by the time I got my camera they had all flown onto the electricity cables.   ::)

Glad to say I have seen more of my blackbird/s since yesterday. I missed him.

Great photo Pauline :)  I must say that the starlings are the one bird that always seem to be present in their hundreds around here, still very quiet in my garden though :'(
Happy gardening all...........Pat

I had loads of hirundines (too high to see whether they were swallows or martins) over  my plot yesterday about 6pm.
