They breed on the moors all around here, circa 400 metres above sea-level and on flat ground. Super birds

Dawn chorus starting early today, sounds like the robin couldn’t sleep either

There was a young blackbird on the fat ball feeder this morning.
He’s obviously not been told that blackbirds aren’t supposed to do that!

The young blackbirds have been on mine too - they watched the starlings and copied them, I think.
The the jackdaws started on it and knocked it off its hook

Flanker managed to get some great golden plover pics by using his phone through his binoculars last week - stunning little birds heart We also had the curlews so close you could see their beaks going - wondering if you did the same walk DT!

We were walking from the Top of the Stairs following the watershed ( between you lot over there, and us lot over here :-) ) out to the Stoop and beyond to Top Withins; it’s part of the Wadsworth Trog route when we saw the plover. The curlew were near Harbour hill

We’ve seen folk digiscoping with telescope and digital camera and have done ourselves but haven’t thought of doing it with bins

was it a Bank Vole Roberto? Bit bigger than a mouse but colour-wise more what you saw (?).
Fab Golden Plover obs .
It's hard to believe that I've only seen Swifts twice, not seen or heard House Martin or Swallow!
