Garden birding rules!

Since I am getting out less and less at present, my garden in particular keeps me sane! Tree Sparrows up to 38+, Reed Buntings 7+, loads of Chaffinches, Goldfinches, daily Sparrowhawk raids, etc - great stuff. Add to this the stuff around the house on the fen, like this evenings couple of Merlins, Short-eared, Barn, Tawny and Little Owls - I don't really need to go far for my fix.

Great Tit come down for a drink

The Treeps have now taken to fat balls! Here four Treeps and a House Sprog battle for the fat while a Toadsnatcher nervously looks from the bush behind


Last week a Moorhen took up residence in the garden!
