What have you seen

A red squirrel has just ran past our caravan! Hope it hasn't been blown out of its tree...... From a windy Anglesey (Cae Mawr) 

Angelsey has done a great job in eradicating the Grey Squirrel from the island. Always glad to see a Ginger Nut.

We've been left some love parcels right in the middle of both front and back lawns these last couple of days. Still haven't seen the Hedgehog that leaves them though. Good to see that the cat scarer doesn't bother it.

A  birding pal was visiting us today and commented on the 3 beautiful stock doves picking up the bits under our garden feeders.

😱  I thought they were town pigeons moving in from Burnley! I’ve been ‘discouraging “ them for weeks.

Never stop learning...🙂

Just think Pliers. A new Lifetime bird without even leaving home. Not many around who can boast of that ( unless of course you are brand new to birding)

Got a good view of a buzzard's nest on a local woodland walk this week, it's a wood that has youngish trees packed in together and the hefty nest was swaying in the breeze. It's an area of our village that the buzzards seem to like. Between local hills and farmland.

You’re right, Wherenext. But would be nice if something a bit more exotic turned up though!

Global warming? Olives on our £2 Lidl sale olive tree. 🌿

Today a toad heading for the same area, he's either in the adjoining pond or heading for the shady damp of various plant pots and stones.

When out with Rosa this afternoon (much cooler today) one of our local Red Kites was being mobbed by seven Ringneck Parakeets

They seem to be spreading through the UK, we had them at Cirencester  late last year and not keen on them prefer Red Kites as you can see by my Avatar.

Much cooler here day here today and there a lot more birds about even had 3 magpies trying to get at some soggy old bread but the crows were not keen on them to close. Around at friends yesterday for lunch and saw a nuthatch having a drink from an old dog bowl 1st time I have seen that although we do have them here usually on the bird feeders.

The swallows are on the move had about 60 on the wires here yesterday and have seen a lot of movement south in the last few days very early I think also all the swifts have gone as well.

Our local birds are busy with feeder and the two bird baths I find that the redstarts do not like sharing them with other birds.
