One of the baby goldfinches we have watched being brought to the feeder, first as a fluffy grey ball and then gradually more coloured as it’s feathers dev3loped just killed itself flying head on into the patio window.

That is a shame,they do fly into windows sadly,i have a huge window and have to keep the curtains closed

That’s a real bummer.
We have folding doors in the back of the house and loads of glass everywhere.
The thud always fills me with dread.

Do you know how many chicks/fledglings there were,by any chance?

 

[kaz7]

Is it just me who can't hear the sound on the Fox video ?

I forget people are going to listen it ha,it is tricky getting them because I can't open the window because they run away,they have trust to come right up the top but only if stay completely out of sight,that is why it special to see and hear then

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Cheers.
They can have up to 7 young at a time and may have 2 or 3 clutches between May and August...that of course would only be when food (seeds and insects) are plentiful...remains to be seen if any songbirds have multiple broods this year.
I very much doubt it.

That may explain why we have seen at the Niger seed feeder youngsters with no colouring feeding alongside youngsters with wing colouring but no red head stripe yet and adults.

I thought I knew what the badger version of catnip is but stand aside granary,fruit bread is where it's at,I have never seen a proper fight before,more than the occasional handbags

 

[Sir peace frog]

[idahoblues]

Just sat outside enjoyi g dinner in the back garden when I noticed my cat sniffing the air. Looked around and a little skunk walked within ten feet of us and planted itself in a big bush, took a while for it to leave but can still smell the damn thing

Horrible isn't it, pigeons have a bad habit of doing that.

It's dream land your garden Karen, very lucky to see this wildlife close up.

And they leave a bloody imprint of their flying position when they hit. Must have something on their feathers.

I'm expecting Zebras and Wildebeest in the next instalment. Just squirrels in my back garden.
