We have lots of jays here. My cat is scared of them.

Has anyone else seen a big increase in birds in your garden ?

Have been feeding the birds for years but this year there has been a huge increase in house sparrows using my seed house. I would say 10 fold increase. The house box is about two feet from our bedroom window and its madness once I put the seed out lol.

I can not answer as I have just moved to a house in East Sussex (from Kent !) other than a preponderance of robins..however, we have a small lake and at night I am staggered by the noises. I have seen ducks, Canada Geese,pheasants and heard owls and woodpeckers. I have been told that we have some mink in the area which would explain the feathers on the lawn from time to time.
Edit..numerous badgers killed by cars on the roads round here.

I’ve managed to get a robin eating from my hand , he was coming close by this summer when I was digging out for a shed base , threw him some bits of bread ,bought some mealworms , he came close and closer until,one day he hopped over and took from my hand.

Amazing birds robins.
We have one in our garden that waits for us to feed it. As soon as we go out it flies down to within a couple of feet. Not got it to come any closer yet.

Saw a museum of murmurating Cedar Waxwings at work yesterday. There had to have been at least a thousand birds flying and circling around directly over us, they were there for hours

Just watched this fella chase some mice underneath the garden shed and bring one out in its mouth.
