Quite a crop!faaip wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:54 am We've, so far, had fledge from our garden -
Wrens - was sat down the bottom drinking tea when a wren on it maiden flight, still with some old downy feathers, had to stop off for a breather on the table, tiny thing about 2/3rds the size of it parents - they nest in our hazel hedgerow
Nuthatches - 4/5 babies lined up on the shed roof at one point
Song Thrush - 3 young fledged we reckon, fun birds to watch hopping all over the garden looking for slugs/worms/snails etc
Blackbirds, we get those every year. They nest in the conifer hedge
and for the first time ever - Goldfinches, we saw two very young birds with the parents in one of the many watering points in our garden
Long Tailed tits, walking down the garden there they were sat on a branch in the rhody

Re: Garden/Nature Thread
Well as 90% of trees have been cut down in favour of manicured lawns, and hedges removed in favour of wooden fences in our road. ..no surprise we get a lot of nesting. Easily the most vertical, plant filled garden in the road..probably area
and we don't have cats atm ...

Re: Garden/Nature Thread
in Finland there is a fortified wine called sorbus. It has been known that birds will get drunk from eating fermented rowan berries. have you ever seen drunk deer?
