  • Seen anything unusual in the cold spell?

    Lots of talk of how the cold weather drives the unusual into the garden and onto the feeders, so have you seen anything unusual (for you) in the gardens recently?

    I can only claim to a pair of coal tits, but they are unusual for me.

            My MIL feeds the birds and has loads visit her garden even more now with the cold snap, not sure what the latest ones are but she has more than likely named them all.
            Bill and Coo the pigeons, cant remember all the others they just stick in my mind.

                Sorry I aint no twitcher but I've spotted a large vixen in the snow a few times over the last week or so.
                Wife feeds the birds and we get pheasant and partridge around but I reckon the bunnies get the most.............hence the fox!

                      We spotted a Tree Creeper on the hawthorn tree today, which is really exciting.

                        This weekend there's been a blackcap visiting our feeders which I haven't seen in the garden before.

                        A thrush has been a regular visitor, which isn't unusual, but a second one turned up today and boy was there a scrap!

                          What havent we had on our feeders? Ive even seen a young kestrel sat on our arch trellis (am hopeing it wasnt waiting for a sparrow or 2 for lunch). Only 1 I couldnt identify was kind of like a bluetit but with a long pointy beak rather than a short stumpy one.

                            I keep getting a wren sitting on our fence but hasn't yet gone on the feeders yet but there has been Blue Tits and a Robin must be the clod weather, not everyone feeds them in the winter..
