scothunter 12,609 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have mate. Spend a small fortune on the wee buggers. Seen a goldie at my feeders for the first time last week. Two collared doves sitting out there as i write this. They are good for keeping the bottom of feeders clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,927 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Sparrowhawk's been absolutely running riot with the Starling & Blackie fledglings in my garden. Tried to get a few photos but they don't hang about long. Pull off a few feathers then carry them back to their own chicks I presume. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
