Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

• Sunday, February 3, 2008 - Need more Bird Feeders!

Kept a close eye on the garden this weekend, and am noticing the Siskins increasing in number.. 7 at once was the highest count. Outnumbering the Goldfinches now. Looks like the 2 seater seed feeder is getting a bit stretched so I might need to get a 4 seater to cope with the demand!

 

A Greenfinch was the only new addition to the garden feeders this week.  We have a small group of 5 or 6 in the neighbourhood, but this is the first one this winter to succumb to the feeders.

 

Overhead, a few more Buzzards than recently, and occasional flocks of Rooks moving over between farmland. 40 was the best count, and one looks to have stopped off in the street for a day or two.

 

Hoping to visit the North of Hampshire Next weekend for part 2 of the Atlas Survey.
