No photo's but I've had a couple of Western Tanagers this year, along with some Bullock Orioles and the ever agressive and waring hummers

I have 2 neighbours with ponds and they get a random duck on them,i tempted to build one so i can watch the duck
Feeders are the way to go mate. They pull our feathered friends in like magnets. Hang a few decent size ones in the trees around your garden, Sun flower seeds are best I find if a bit pricey. Put some fat balls and coconut full of seeds out as well.Impressive list that mate. I have it a modest garden size wise but it overlooks the foothills of the Moors and quite rural, so hoping to see what's out there. I think I need to make a bird table and get to observe a wider variety too.
Fuck i hadn't thought about that,i'm in bubble wrap till septNo whatever you do, do not build a pond, you would fall in it and drown.
Nice one mate, will do. l love watching garden birds and will make a bird table soon. Thanks: )Feeders are the way to go mate. They pull our feathered friends in like magnets.

Our resident sparrow hawk uses the feeders to target small birds. Hits them at speed and takes them away to its plucking post.
Not in my garden, but a unique experience....sitting on the edge of a wood, eating a picnic. I expected an avian visitor but, who should come right up to me, bold as brass, but a nuthatch. Enjoyed his morsel too and stuck around for more. Wonderful.Can't beat a bit of twitching.
I have a decent garden which is semi wild also so lots of frogs around.
I feed the birds(and squirrels) with sunflower hearts .
