Today:

'Our' Robin ... I swear its the same Robin thats been here for 3 yrs... quite brave and almost eats out of your hand.

Fred the Pheasant ... he simply uses our garden as a walkthrough ... see him waltz past once or twice a day.

An owl ... it swooped by as I reversed into the drive tonight.

I hear woodpeckers in summer ... but havent managed to see one.

Robins are nasty little sods, according to radio 4 they lose some of their aggression at this time of year and are not territorial. My robin obviously does not listen to R4 as he was going for all comers yesterday.

Due to the Missus wearing a low cut vest top all day I've seen a great pair of tits ( No, I'm not posting them )...

Garden wise, some wag tails, some crows, some round wood pigeons, a robin and some black birds, they all came wondering after the seed and bread crumbs I scattered for them...

Robins used to dominate the holly bush in my Nan's garden all year round. Not even starlings could get in there.

Don't get many birds other than pigeons and seagulls round here. The bloke up the road throws loads of corn out so the street is normally full of pigeons. I like them, my Grandad raced them, get the occasional Magpie and Blackbirds but nothing particularly pretty.

To my shame I'm not good with birds, there are a few in the sky but they are all budgies to me.

Mostly dunnocks
Also sparrows, starlings, goldfinches, blackbirds, great tits and the occasional robin and long tailed tit.

I like to put food out for the birds. When the pigeons, magpies and crows inevitably come, I can shoot them

What about the front

I shot a Starling from a tree in Pab's neighbour's garden yesterday. 50m with a .177.

Only ever see pigeons and seagulls (rare) round here, too. Maybe the odd starling or blackbird. I hardly ever see a sparrow, and its a novelty for me to see a magpie. Although possibly once I start taking the dog for walks in the park I might see more. He's just about "seasoned" to round the block now

I still put out fat and nut balls in the winter for the birds; last year I hung one off my front window but it didn't get touched so I figure: not a lot of little hungry birds in my street. The neighbour throws bread out on the street for pigeons, which my cats occasionally catch. Prolly keeps the little birds away, LOL

I really do miss proper birds, I used to like watching the native birds in the bush in NZ, you can still sometimes hear them in the small areas of bush left in the city there. I miss them, and I do like birdsong. It always seems hopeful to me.

Yeah, I miss NZ a LOT lately. Got too much time on my hands to think about what I haven't got any more.

Like birds in my back garden:
Maybe I should move to the countryside
