Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Do you have no where to hang feeders Flanker? My 'garden' is a small patio no more than 20ft by 10ft. 15 minutes in I've had seven species and several regulars haven't appeared yet. Shame it isn't a couple of days ago though when we had the frost, air traffic control was working flat out then!

Ended up with ten species including a family of 5 LTTs, always a pleasure to see :-) but no sign of Donald the rather orange and small brained Pheasant today ;-)

Flanker - you would amaze the birdwatch peeps by sheer volume of jackdaws 😀

Go and sit by the canal in prime dipper spot 👍

I predict Blackbird, Dunnock, Robin and Sparrow for our birdwatch. Anything else will be a bonus.

Pigeon too dave, we should get a pigeon. And at least one black headed gull.

I’ll be happy if the blackbird shows up.

I could talk to you to say this.... you are actually in the same room as me 😂😂

ff - we have plenty of space and plenty of plans for feeders. But we've only just moved in, so other things have taken priority over sorting out the patio/terrace. Buying beds, kitchen bins, washing machine, boring stuff like that!

We've put a couple of fat balls up in the tree outside the kitchen window though and already tempted in bluetits, great tits, robin and blackbird :-)

Kinky I can fully understand the bed being a high priority but kitchen bin! ;-)

Seriously though, sounds like you've made a good start. You should do the survey at your place this year and use it as a baseline for the future :-)

Birdwatch was looking like another anticlimax... what with the howling wind rattling everything and the ubiquitous pigeons.

Pleased to report I felt saved in the closing minutes by an appearance from one if the regular jackdaws followed by the lesser spotted 😉 wren 👍😀

You can't report wrens, otherwise you'll have people logging harpies, griffins, and pheonix ;-)
