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!

Best part of 20 willow warbler on this morning’s walk. Virtually every tree or bush on the south side of Penistone Hill seemed to hold at least one bird

Got a clean birdbath now. The magpies love it and had made it very grotty.

Rosehip, we have great tits nesting in our 3 room sparrow nestbox. We've had them before, and blue tits, but never sparrows. But that's hardly surprising, as we never have sparrows in the garden (although they're abundant 200 metres away).

I have sparrows in the garden, the house sparrows spend a lot of time in the Ceanothus bush under my kitchen window, but I don't think they nest there - no idea where they do nest.

At least now I've removed the old knackered greenhouse and replaced it with a tidy little grow house the robin won't be over-heating her brood nesting in pots on a shelf like she did the last two years :(

Half a dozen goldfinch in my plum tree - hopefully, they're eating aphids or something.
Jackdaws struggling on the fat ball feeder, hilarious :)

lots of goldfinches in my cherry tree, I'm hoping Rosehip is right about their eating habits!

Going back a couple of pages, we have more Larks than ever this year. Heard them on yet a different place on my evening run.

The lack of swifts is still slightly annoying. I'm sure they'll appear soon

I miss the mountains, that is the only place we're likely to see a cuckoo and we have had some fabulous swift encounters.

Hobbys are known in the RSPB reserve at Sandy and Peregrines also not far away
