The weather has so far been kind to the wildlife in the garden,
although I’m sure it will soon change and make the offerings I put out for the
birds even more vital.
I’ve not been able to fix the broken power cable to the nest box
camera, but I hope it can be fixed before the box becomes a roosting place for
one or more of the small garden birds.
The six regular visitors over the last couple of weeks have been; blue
tit, great tit, robin, blackbird, tree sparrow and house sparrow.
I’ve also seen magpies taking some of the fat snacks, but one visitor I
didn’t expect was a kestrel, which caused consternation among the garden birds,
although non fell prey to its claws.
I’m now starting to feed the birds regularly and once the colder
weather grips expect to see a few more types of birds – and hopefully the great
spotted woodpecker.
The local tawny owl population has been decorating the long dark nights
with calls, although I’m yet to see any of them in the day time.
Now I’m off for another walk down the lane to see what animals are out
and about.
