Fairly quiet today.

A family of Blue Tits passed through the garden this morning, the Great Tits and House Sparrows have been feeding well on the Black Sunflower seeds, the only other visitors are the Woodpigeons, Dunnock, Magpie and Blackbird who is still feeding young.

Usual group of Great Tits plus Dunnocks, House Sparrows, Blackbirds, Magpies, Woodpigeons, Robin and a male Chaffinch, also a Great Spotted Woodpecker gave us a visit twice today taking a feed of nuts.

Feeders needed filling been a while since last fill.

Great Tits been 4 around for a few gays now looks like some of them are young ones. Robin , Dunnock, House Sparrows, Blue Tit and the return of the Coal Tit. Usual Wood pigeons and Magpies plus a Lone Collard Dove.

This morning at the bottom of next doors garden in a Laburnam tree was about 12? ( didn't count them properly ) Magpies all shouting out and in the middle was 2 Crows, don't know if there is a Magpies nest there or a young one, but I unfortunatly disturbed them. A few years back I witnessed a Crow kill a Magpie with another Crow keeping away other Magpies. Will have to check out if there is a nest there.

Seen a few more birds today.

Blackbird, Robin, Woodpigeon, Magpie Greenfinch, Collard Dove, House Sparrows, Dunnocks and Great Tits with young trying to use the feeders.

The Squirral is becoming a pest, I need to get some more feeder guards to stop him getting at the food.

Not a lot of birds showing, feeders still quiet full.

Today I have seen the Robin first time for a few weeks, pair Dunnocks couple Great Tits, House Sparrows, and my friend the female Blackbird and a Wood Pigeon. That is all, they must be finding food over in the Dingle.

Two photo's of Wild Orchids taken today. These are two of 100's growing in this small area of wet land, noticed them last Wednesday on a walk for health run by Walsall Council.

Above is a selection of photo's taken in North Wales Spring Bank Holiday Week.

Passing through this morning was a family of Long Tail Tits, been a few months since I saw any here.

Still very quiet on the bird front.
A few regulars including a Coal Tit this morning, first one for a long while. I have a female Blackbird that will follow me around untill I feed her, but will only come to within a foot no closer.

Not been a lot of birds about.
The usual Greenfinch. House Sparrow. Blackbird, Dunnock, Magpie and collard Dove, Been very wet the last 2 days although not here during daytime on Saturday. Odd young birds but no young Chaffinches, last seen Friday evening like little balls with no movment whatsoever for quiet a while.

Not the amount of birds about there used to be. Great Tit, Greenfinch including a young one, Collard Dove, Wood Pigeon, Magpie, Sparrow and this morning a male Chaffinch with 3 younsters. I think he was just showing them where to get some food, because he flew off leaving them here, but this afternoon he was back with the young ones and feeding them.

We have been on holiday to North wales and have sorted out a few photo's above.

First one taken at Conwy RSPB of a Lapwing.

Second one a Black Swan also at Conwy.

Third one a Nuthach at Pen-y-Bont-Fawr.

Four a Redstart had a nest, only managed to get a few photo's of the female when she decided to leave the nest for a short while. This nest was situated in a wall around a old garden only a few feet away from our Caravan.

Five the Caravan Club CL. Also in this wall that took in three sides of the old garden was a Blue Tits and House Sparrows nests.

The trees on the remaining side being a mixture of Apple, Cherry, Fir, Chestnut and others was full with a variety of birds including a family of Woodpeckers.

As you can see from above we visited the RSPB reserve at Conwy. I still have a lot of photographs to plough through.

On returning home straight away plugged in the tele for a look at the nest box too late the Blue Tits have flown, heres to next year and another brood.
