So, last week my son comes home from Beavers (junior Cubs for those not in the know) and said he had the Garden Birdwatch to do...excellent....
At the weekend whilst he ate his breakfast I watched out the window....not a huge amount to report....he took the second half hour with me....lets just say it was disappointing....even with a reasonable amount of bird food out theres not much in the garden....even the Blackbirds refused to show during the hour!!.....
Next day...hmmm....whats that calling in the tree...loads of racket.....Siskin....about 15 of them....with some Goldfinch....and 2 Magpies in the garden...with some Blackbirds....and a Collared Dove....
How can this happen...nature is a wonderful thing.....where did the Siskin come from all of a sudden.....?....and most of them have hung around ever since, same tree...same racket....and even the Goldfinch have now taken to sitting on the feeder for some time.....and the House Sparrows are back....
