Hi all,
Just had to share my amazing morning -
1. Looked out of my study window first thing to see a wren checking out my newly installed nest box only to be followed shortly after by a couple of Great Tits. Great I thought
2. I've also recently put up one of those see-through plastic window feeders but up until today, no takers. Then whilst I'm up against the window watching the potential new tenants, a young starling lands on it right at my nose and happily goes about splashing around gobbling up anything and everything for a good few minutes.
3. Whilst I daren't move and risk startling it a Greater Spotter Woodpecker lands on my garden fence, hops along it a little, jumps onto a bamboo type pole holding up one of my plants to inspect down the top of it before checking out the peanut feeder and off. A first for my garden bird list!
A fantastic action-packed few minutes (well, they were thrilling for me anyway) and all before breakfast. Who needs Autumnwatch??!! (Well, I do actually, I'm kind of addicted to it lol)
Take it easy
