A male Blackcap in the back garden was a first for this winter. We also had a very smart Redwing in the area today.
On the feeders in the front garden, we rescuscitated (sp.) a very lucky Siskin who flew into the kitchen window. He looked like a gonner at first, but seemed to come to his senses and later flew off quite strongly. We don't get many window strikes, Woodpigeon was the worst as it felt like a brick was coming through the window. Have moved the feeders to an angle from the window now, so hopefully any birds that do hit, will be dealt a glancing blow as opposed to a head on collision.
Slightly better news from the kitchen window was 2 Dotted Border Moths last night. A first for me, though they were nothing to write home about! Looking at the fieldguide, the wingless females look like they don't have much going for them either!
