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!

After a week of fleeting glimpses - this one perched long enough for a snap.
Not long enough for me to co-ordinate a view of the beak as well though.

Are the tail feathers worn away, eaten, or are they always like that?

Great picture, real rarity to see one in our garden. Just got lucky, next doors blue tit box must've just fledged, four of them mobbing the parent on our feeders.

Must be GSW week. They were everywhere last night, and this was while volunteering with the camera at parkrun on Saturday

That’s was a good site for a nest hole, with its own little umbrella.

GSW watching again ... very twitchy, any movement sends it flying ...
But it seems to keep coming back, so likes the peanuts? Gets through them nearly as fast as the starlings.



But I did get this one before he/she flew off

Mrs GSW at my feeder this morning with a youngster (red forehead rather than nape) in tow which seemed more interested in playing in a puddle than actually feeding! Also juvenile Coal, Great and Blue Tits coming to the feeders plus a family of Pied Wagtails sitting up on the phone wire shouting loudly.

No sign of any baby woodies here yet, the adults are on the feeders regularly so hopefully they have a nest.

Thanks Flanker ...
Lots of baby tits, gold finches, starlings, blackbirds all round the feeders & water bath ... gold finches seem fearless pushing in on giant fat pigeons. But no baby woodies either.

Mrs GSW at the feeder today.A lot less twitchy than Mr., or just a lot hungrier?
No babies seen.
