Phal and Perfect...my garden sounds similar too; still have four species of tits daily but a big loss over the last twelve months has been Collared Dove....

Fragile Do Not Bend
Oh yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what else arrives as the weather improves. It's a bit strange not having all the sparrows and starlings I was used to in my old (suburban) garden. |

Two dunnocks are trying to move in on the feeders  the resident pair of robins tolerate them as long as they stay on the right hand side of the garden. If they sit on the left hand fence/on the bushes one of the robins is out and chasing them off in a matter of a minute or so. It's made some great watching today Nice to know other gardens are similar! We've felt like we've been missing out

walking to get the paper heard a song that i wasn't familiar with. The bird looked like a small finch, but at the top of the tree against a grey sky no colour could be seen. My suspicion was a cock linnet, so i dillied and dallied, dallied and i dillied. On return i looked up the linnet songs and i'm 99% certain that it was indeed a linnet. bird-songs.com is a useful source for songs if you need one. |

DT, you have a cricket pavilion in your garden? Just how big is it?
