yeah, perhaps I need to install a camera and monitor them! Haha

How to Make a DIY Wasp Trap That Actually Works In case anyone wants a Blue Peter session

I have put the odd egg out for the foxes and they do carry them off without breaking them, eggs are actually quite resistant to breaking unless they are dropped.My recent find was a furry half buried thing which appeared to be sprouting grass. Turned out to be a fat ball, but had me guessing...

It was Weaselly identified if you watched the video..................half way through the vid

Thanks @strongylodon , the size and habit are spot on! In the photos they look a bit darker than my fairies and they don't seem to be that common in the North East, I need to keep on trying to take better photos.Crambus pascuella | NatureSpotI read the name first "Inlaid Glass veneer" which...

Unless it has white parts on the front of its face it is a native, Tytthaspis sedcimpunctata.

Within my lifetime then. The first programmers I met used to programme in machine code and later switched to assembler followed by C++.

The black birds here do it all the time even if they eat suet pellets i've even seen them with nowt in they're beck's and wipe the grass

Thanks.

That is sad but I am glad that you were looking out for her. Yes, you probably had her coming around to "visit" more often than most human friends do so it is true that you have lost an old friend. I was quite upset when one of my little opossum buddies stopped coming around but unlike you, I am...

Good evening @Sarah100! my friend yes lovely photos we have quite a few Blackbirds here as well but I haven't seen any thrushes for quite a while

Thanks, Sheal. NICE!!, but I think I will pass on that.

My issue is the Starlings---they attack my suet cakes scaring the little birds away. All I need to do is step out on my deck and they fly away. But they eat those cakes up like crazy. Took this video few falls ago. sometime gatherings are larger ---they usually get up to the farmers field...

Yes, our suet balls are the same thing and the ones I bought were a pretty bell shape. Interesting.I won't buy them again because they only lasted one night. I'm guessing the raccoons had a greasy feed.

I do the birdwatch each year and the birds normally parade around in their best finery for us. @NigelJ that must be where all yours get to .I have been doing the birdwatch for many years but stopped when they first went digital because to register for it you also had to give them your phone...

Thanks I have a very greedy and wily Pheasant here, so I have to wait for him to disappear before I put food down for the ground feeding birds.

Not crows, but thick billed ravens from Ethiopia; omnivorous yes, but it did seem the more disgusting the better though.
