Weekly Report

Main highlights this week;

There seems to be a few more Siskins visiting than before.

The elusive Blackcap put in a brief appearance yesterday morning so he is still around! His habits are very similar to the Dunnocks who are also fairly shy birds. They emerge from the undergrowth in neighbouring gardens and common land and come into our garden through the gaps in the fence to feed on a ground feeder which is actually sitting on an old bench.

Not had many Starlings for a while but I've noticed 2 or 3 in the garden since I put out some new fatty balls!

New sightings out and about this week consist of a pair of Dippers on the riverside and a couple of Treecreepers in nearby woodland. Unfortunately I did not have my camera handy on either occasion.
