Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Blackbird in the greenhouse now has chicks. I'm keeping my greenhouse visits to a minimum and synchronising with Mrs Blackbird. Hoping it doesn't get too hot in there.

It amazes me where birds nest, I've seen two different spots where bluetits are nesting in tiny holes in metal gateposts. Surely the chicks don't stand a chance?

Sadly we think the baby blackbird in our back garden was predated. We didn't see it one day and then the next when we went up onto our garage roof there were lots of fluffy feathers, the remains of a carcass and a crow on a nearby roof.

Metal gateposts seem a popular choice with blue tits - seen a few over the years. At least they aren't going to fall victim to a GSW drilling out a bigger hole!

I have rather a quantity of bean sticks, as several years running, a songthrush would make a nest on them.
Also, blackbirds usually like my long ladder, so I now keep the pruning ladder elsewhere, not on the same hooks behind the drying shed.
The robins like the temporary fencing... Of which I now also have two sets... And the crate with shade netting, which hasn't been used for yearsas a result. I keep the shade netting on the greenhouse on in winter now. Tiptoeing around nesting birds is fun though :)

A brimstone butterfly in the garden this afternoon. Amazing thing. Not seen one before
