BIRD NEWS:509



I tried to get a few pictures of the woodpecker, thankfully - and this one came out well - as it munched, posing with a couple of tits on the feeder pole. You can also see the woodpecker with a great tit, nuthatch, goldfinch and blue tit below!



With finches and tits on the feeders, a wood pigeon and female pheasant strolled into the site below to feed from dropped crumbs.




The birds, of multiple variety, were not alone in enjoying lunch at the feeder poles. There were 3-4 young rats and this squirrel - later joined by a second one - munching a meal in addition to the birds.


We then spotted a wren - although it wouldn't stay still long enough for its picture to be taken without blurriness.



Back on the feeders, and the cafe's lunch guests had changed to a pair of greenfinches. This hide certainly had a variety of wildlife - whichever end you sit at or look out from, the various areas are generally fairly active - both the hedge and log areas in addition to 2 feeder sections and a water pool.

  1. Wow, there's a lot of different kinds of birds lined up to use that feeder. But... rats again.

  2. yes rats are a part of wildlife - so in wildlife reserves they are not always removed/killed...better in the wild than around houses where humans tend to murder them.
