There is far less activity in the garden now with food being left on the ground tray. However some coal tits must be nesting nearby as we are seeing one or two on a regular basis. They seem particularly fond of the peanut butter feeder. Today it was nice to see a great spotted woodpecker on the feeders but again, it took only the slightest movement within the house to frighten it away.
Once upon a time you could find me birding on the Thames marshes almost every weekend through the winter. For various reasons I am now seldom able to travel to good birding sites. I am lucky, however, to live in the beautiful Chiltern Hills and this blog is to document the birds that I see on my own patch.
