Not a great deal happening this week, was tempted to head for the coast but the weather, although stormy enough, didn't seem to be in a consistent direction to blow anything in. Did record my first Fieldfares over the house through the week, not sure why they are so rare here, and the garden feeders attracted Goldfinches within 24 hours of putting them out this year.. Am trying "Thistle heads" instead of Nyger seed, as they look to attract a wider range of species including Coal tit, which is an occasional visitor, and Siskins, which we are yet to see.
A Nuthatch is visiting the feeders quite regularly at the moment, and we get occasional glimpses of a Wood Mouse around the garden. |
