Greyman 25,219 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Bit of a good day for my daughter on her walk she got a long eared owl twice on her way out and again when she returned further along the river picked up a kingfisher, her count is now 38 species 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,219 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Greater white throat, greater spotted woodpecker and another kingfisher last evening, went back to the wood my daughter got the long eared owl but no luck, other daughter is on here way to puffin island as we speak think she may pick up a few trump cards there, gotta fit a new gearbox for the lad this morning so may do a foreshore sweep later see what waders we can get Edited June 3, 2023 by Greyman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We get the odd blackcap on the feeders and a more aggressive bird you’ve yet to find for it’s size .Makes a robin look like an angel . Saw a brambling yesterday and found a wagtails nest 3 eggs .Always good to just sit and watch especially killing squigs at same time . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxdropper 17,092 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 We are currently working on a very old property ,flag stone courtyard and ashlar walls .The owner said he had a few house martins arrive and so I suggested putting down a bag of top soil suitably dampened to allow nest building without the birds having to travel miles for materials .Went from two pairs Wednesday to 32 pairs nesting Friday .The twittering they make is captivating tbh . 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
