Fat birds

We currently have a family of sparrrows that are eating us out of house and home. The clever buggers have set up a nest in the extractor vent of next doors house. A 10 foot flight from their nest to the bird feeder. The mum and dad are running a seed shuttle service at the moment

I reckon when the chicks finally appear they will be too fat to fly!

What wildlife have you got in your garden?

LOL. We have a couple of pigeons around here, but the seagulls seem to see them off. Its the small birds like sparrows and finches that seem to thrive. Lots of blackbirds as well. The dawn chorus is lovely

We've got two magpies that have an argument every morning outside our bedroom window at stupid o'clock.

There is a third with a poorly wing that winds our two JRTs up by hopping round the garden until they go out. Then it flutters up onto the shed roof and teases them.

I have a theory that robins are CIA information gatherers. They seem to turn up where ever I have a picnic or pull over in the car. I reckon they are remote control drones and have video recording eyes.

Cheeseville, Somerset

There's been a lovely pair of tits noshing on some fat balls in the the garden for days now!

Add hundreds of spiders under the decking and what we think is an abandoned fox cub just the other side of the stream (comes and goes but quite vocal at night - obviously doing ok food wise and did catch a glimpse the other day - very cute!).

But yep - our bird feeder is in constant demand too!

I've got 1 feeder of high energy seed have to fill every day. House Sparrows are ravenous. Peanuts and Suet balls for the Tits, and nijer seed for the Goldfinches. Wood pigeon, Collard Dove, Song Thrush, blackbird, and Starling eat the remnants on the floor. Oh and Robin, Dunnock and Wren in the fringes. Few Squirrels make up a lovely ensemble to enjoy with my toast in the morning.

We have a family of foxes living under our deck at the back of the garden. There is at least four cubs. One got hold of a magpie the other day and the magpies mate was attacking the fox trying to save it.

It was like wildlife on one in our garden.

I live on the side of a river so there are ducks, very noisy geese and a lovely kingfisher.

The fat birds right now are the ones drinking cider in the meadow.

LONDON (se)

I have a colony of noisy parakeets that live in the tree right by mu house. There is a crows nest on my roof somewhere. I know this as I found a baby crows head on the floor one morning and my cat can only go out on the roof. Plus a magpie. Not seen the other one for a few days

Loads of fat birds noshing on our feeder. They are actually beginning to annoy me as I'd much prefer to see some wildlife but a free meal is a free meal I guess.

I had collected my tin helmet and was waiting for the thread to be pulled, then realised it was spring watch!

There are no such thing as fat birds, only curvy, and it's what's inside that counts etc etc etc.

Repeat until you get a shag.

Hedgehogs and snails by the bucket load at the moment. I don't feed the birds because of the five moggies who incidently have great respect for the hedgehogs....

Sand lizards, stag beetles, hedgehogs, foxes & 2 busty women mud wrestling last weekend.

The sand lizards & stag beetles have been logged by Essex wildlife trust but I won't tell them about the wrestlers lol!
