What have you seen

As well as the birds I listed visiting the feeders on site, today there were Yellowhammers and a Marsh Tit. 

Saw this tonight!

What a sad state of affairs that  us ‘ordinary’ folk have to resort to this.

Just been announced that Scarborough Council have just cancelled their New Year’s Firework display tonight to save any distress to this wonderful creature!👍

Apparently Thor is now back in the tide but could still be in either the harbour or the bay! Let’s wish him a safe onward journey into the New Year!

Looking  out into the woods  behind the house today we saw a beautiful  male Bullfinch, admittedly difficult to miss, and a Treecreeper.

We rarely see Bulfinches but when they appear they like our winter honeysuckle which is out just now.

Lovely photo brue ours is also out and had many bees even a bumble bee on it New Year's day.

Birds are busy on the feeders the window stick ones have just been topped up, last week we noticed we had a Great Tit about twice the size of the other ones on the feeder have checked it out when on window feeder and appears to be in good health but does like its food so we have called it the Billy Bunter of the Tit family.

We like to see the bumble bees out too, surprising what you can grow all year round to attract them. There is an interesting cover with bumblebees on this month's RHS magazine and an article about food sources. I've been reading about the warm temperatures recently, but am wondering if we'll also get another cold snap? 

Watching a treecreeper scramble down/diagonal on a tree looks very odd when first seen🤔🙂

Hi brue I am waiting for the next RHS magazine to come as I still belong to the RHS and usually try to use my card for different gardens when we are in the UK.

Have had Nuthatch on the window feeder and it stands no nonsense with the Goldfinches who try to hog the feeder but they do not like to argue with the Nuthatch and its beak and it takes about 3 seeds in one go.
