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!

Can anyone tell me if crows mate on the ground? If not our resident couple were having a 'tiff' on my lawn yesterday whilst I was hosting a very important meeting ;)

I've not seen crows on the job but saw a couple of oystercatcher sneak a quickie fly-by one in once in a field. Fly, land, get jiggy, fly off ;-)

I suppose we're wondering whether they "do it" on the ground or up a tree?! Anywhere they fancy I would guess but I don't really know!
Blackcap singing again this morning..and Chiffs too.

Walked along the Thames between Teddington and Richmond yesterday. Saw more introduced birds than native! Parakeets everywhere, and plenty of egyptian geese and mandarin ducks.

To be fair they are very sweet together for noisy crows, lots of walking side my side and preening going on. Its interesting seeing them walking around together the male is quite a bit bigger than the female, he is quite focused on if I have put any food out but she doesn't take her eyes off him..... ;)

Its turning into a Hitchcock movie here... Mr Crow is insisting on perching on my farmyard gate where he can see his reflection in my living room window. The window is now covered in feet prints where he keeps attacking it feet first! I tried to take a photo of the prints but sadly my skills are insufficient you will just have to take my word for it.

Its very loud when he hits the window!

Couple of ringed plovers for me on the beach at Rhyl today, not one I get to see very often at all.

At my old house we used to get pigeons (or might have been collared doves) flying into our patio doors on a regular basis. They make a nice ghostly pigeon imprint on the glass.
