Ain't it thrilling when you see a species that might be very common, but doesn't tend to inhabit your local area ? In my case, goldcrests on Good Friday. CUTE !

We've a lovely set of blue tits nesting in a birdbox I put up.

But we have quite an array of birds where I live.

Red kites are a highlight to see

We get quite a lot of magpies too.

Destructive little blighters though, they do favour my vegetable beds

We have numerous wild birds in our garden. They seem to empty the feeders on an almost daily basis!

My favourite is a green woodpecker, which I have only seen a few times. Once on the peanut feeder in the early hours of the morning

A murmuration of hundreds of starlings at sunset as they come in to roost is an awesome spectacle out here on The Levels. Have you ever witnessed it?

Never see a bird in my back garden - had a feeder up over a year and it's still full!

But I was out in the Peak District at the weekend - lots of red grouse (including one that didn't want to let me past on the path!) and lapwings and a pair of ring ouzels

A good location for diversity is the peak spent many happy hours in the white peak luckily we have such places left to see still.
