Garden Birds and wild birds thread.

We have the usual regulars: blackbirds, thrushes, blue tits, long tail tits, coal tits, sparrows, robins, goldfinches and bullfinches. But also on more rare occasions, I've seen fieldfares, green woodpecker, red woodpecker, sparrow hawk. Oh, and pigeons (and doves). I absolutely loathe them with their fat arses trampling on everything, the stupid walk they do, that ridiculously annoy noise they make all the time (from 05:00 am onwards), and they shit on everything.

Yeah the Wood Pigeons and Collard Doves are the capitalists of the garden world, ruining life and the environment for the other birds.

Don't mind the collared doves too much but the wood pigeons can fnck right off. They'd clear out a bird feeder in a matter of minutes.

Was sitting out have a glass of wine with a few people when the sparrow hawk swooped over head again and caught another sparrow out of the holly tree.
It landed on the grass with much squawking going on before flying off.
Staring to feel guilty. Since we cut the branches back on the tree and put the feeder up again we seem to have created a death corridor. A fly through like a drive through in MacD's.

On a positive. The finches are back in another tree since we started with the niger seeds again.

Maybe I was a bit harsh on the collared doves. They 're more the neo liberalists of the garden world.
True what you say about the Wood Pigeons clearing the feeders out.
Do you get any bother with Niger seeds sprouting?
 
When I lived on the Merseybank estate I used to see green paraqeets who used to fly to and from Chorlton Water Park over my house to Southern Cem.

Got these on my bird feeder up at the allotment. Magnificent birds and I watched a female knock fuck out of a magpie that tried to intimidate her,so they are alright by me.
Also get loads of different songbirds including most finches and tits.
Also get two families of woodpecker

We get them I our garden too. Absolute cunts of birds, cost a fortune in peanuts. Wankers.
 
I've had a flock of 'Evening Grosbeaks ' hanging out at the feeder last few weeks, today the first American goldfinches of the year
