What have you seen

They are probably looking for spiders and the remains of fly's that spiders drag into small holes around the frame and in the brickwork.

Unusual to see goldfinches doing it though, although I have seen nuthatch doing it. 

A few Redwings and more Fieldfares in among the bushes along the River Tees path today, Cormorants feeding in the river and then a Snipe flew upstream, this afternoon. It must be this weather that's driving them into urban areas.

Today Fieldfares are in the garden, Mistlethrush also.

I take no credit for this picture, pure accident.

Mistle got the worm at Barleywood a couple of weeks ago.  I see someone found a dead Dunlin on there doorstep this morning, guess the weather is taking it's toll.  Strangely we haven't had many birds on the feeders in the last couple of days

Garden is full of birds...went local shop for some seed to spread across the lawn.  Also went to our Co OP and bought a pack of Apple's, chopped and thrown on lawn....going down very well.

A pair of song thrushes in our garden yesterday and today.

Never seen a song thrush anywhere in the locality, ever, so where they've dropped in from I can't imagine. I'm keeping them well fed though!

Like most, stayed home today, filled up the feeders, scapped away some snow and spread some ground feed, then relaxed to spend a peaceful day behind the double glazing with the CH pumping away.

Well that was what I expected. Instead all hell broke loose first 8 wood pigeons descended on the newly scrapped area and fought for the whole morning for the lions share.

This afternoon, the Magpie nest was the centre of warfare as a pair of crows returned from last week, I guess to take over the nest. Two hours of bickering before the magpies retreated.

Then a couple of Starling found the feeders and before long about twenty or so were squabbling over the suet sticks.

Just opened the blinds to see if it was snowing and there was a Fox huddled up against the patio step.

Love to watch our little female Blackcap flitting between the feeders, nearly got her head stuck trying to reach the sunflower seed. The other feeder has plenty so does the lower station of the feeder she is on, but for some reason she keeps trying to reach what she cannot.

Great pics Bluemalaga.

Just had a Kestrel eyeing up our feeders from the top of next doors trampoline,  not quick enough for a photo  but hoping he might come back.  This cold weather is certainly bringing some new birds into the gardens.  

They will take a small bird as well Helen, so the coal or blue tits better keep an eye out.
