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!

We've got loads of Winter thrushes this year too, more than I ever remember seeing in the area.

You see, the trouble is I go to work in the dark and come back in the dark. For all I know it's elves taking my bird food.

However, it seems we are visited mid-afternoon by LTT which is always lovely to see.

A blackbird with a white collar around by the canal today, also both grey and pied wagtails.

Not my picture, but some little egrets at the nature reserve

Not many winter thrushes around the places I go here in Cardiff/Vale of Glamorgan. The odd few Redwings..not even seen a Fieldfare yet and Blackbirds etc seem pretty average. Ah..but Song Thrushes and Blackbirds singing before sunrise!
I see Jackdaws dispersing from a regular roost as I run by before sunrise but as it got light the misty morning wasn't good to see much other than a solitary Heron.

A chiffchaff and a kingfisher by the canal. I was most excited about the chiffchaff nerd

Not while running, but saw my first ring necked parakeet when I took a trip down the Lee Valley this afternoon. Not quite sure how I feel about them as neither native nor naturally introduced, but has been a while since I saw a 'lifer' and it was nice to get a decent view of something with all the fog. Furthermore, I had just had one of those annoying conversations about having just missed something good- a Bittern.

Finally spotted the Kingfisher. Went to Rhuddlan Nature Reserve on my run this morning as want to spot the otter that is there. Stopped for a luck and no joy. Noticed some colour out of the corner of my eye and there it was. The kingfisher sat on a branch overlooking the pond not ten feet away. Chuffed to bits, not only to get my first sighting, but to have a chance to really take in the magnificent colours.

I couldn't figure out recently why my birdbath, which has a capacity of 2 gallons, was virtually empty at the end of each day.

Working from home today I could witness blackbirds, starlings, blue & great tits, robin, dunnock all being caught in the act.

Blackbirds do like a good splash around. Lovely to see.
