That’s great Sadds.
I have a garden room where I sit in and watch the birds on the feeders.
Unfortunately, having read my original post a few years ago, much of what was common in my back garden is no longer around.
I don’t see any of the finches at all. Siskin gone also. Nothing eating the Niger Seeds at all.
Still have great and blue tits but the Coal Tit has been nowhere to be seen.
Thrush- very infrequent.
Dunnocks gone.
Haven’t seen a wren in a long time although they are listed as one of the most numerous.
They are secretive by nature.
Sparrows - yes.
Blue and Great tits - yes. Blues seem to be staying permanently while the Greats raised a whole family and haven’t been seen since.
Starlings - sometimes.
Wood Pigeons- unfortunately yes.
Magpies - unfortunately yes.
Sea gulls- appear as if by magic if you put anything out on the lawn. In out and gone again.
I know there’s a sparrow hawk around but that’s seen only very fleetingly.
The robin is a year round resident but even he is not as frequent or dominant as he used to be.
