Another day, we have had a Robin, Dunnocks, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Black Bird, 1 solitory Starling, Magpies and a Heron flying over.

We have not seen Chaffinch, Coal Tit or Long Tail Tits for some time now. We used to get a couple of Coal Tits regular, must be finding food in the Dingle.

Well another day with 12 Magpies going a game, not sure at what, I tried to have a look but saw nothing.

Usual gang of Great Tits odd Dunnock Black Bird and Wood Pigeon. This afternoon been cleaning out my fish pond the best I could, it's a bit cloudy now but will settle down. Saw a pair of Herons flying about, then one of them landed on the top of a tree next door and was there for a while. He did eventually fly off, mind the fish I have would have been a bit too big for him.

A mixture this morning, Robin return of a male Chaffinch, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Dunnock, Magpie and Wood Pigeon.

Not seen a Greenfinch for quiet some time Black Birds usualy down the garden but not today.

Been out the rest of the day so don't know if anything different paid us a visit.

Working outside today and then a doz Magpies and a couple of Crows all going a game. Next door there was a cat walking up the garden, so thought right thats disturbed them. The cat climbed on the shed and then onto the garage it had a Magpie in its mouth that what all the commotion was about.

A short while after it was back to normal Great Tits 6 at a time odd Blue Tit pair Collard Doves, Woodpigeons and a pair of Dunnocks. Black Birds are staying farther down the garden going in and out of the shrubery.

I would like to know where all the birds have dissapered to. Even the Magpies have gone down in numbers in our garden, and only odd Blue nad Great Tits.

Over the weekend I did see the Woodpecker in next doors garden.

These 2 photo's where taken wilst on a car park at the Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire the last week in October.

Apart from a visit to Carsington Water and Tittesworth not a lot of birds about. At Tittesworth saw a lot of Goldfinch and Long Tail Tits, also a Kingfisher, quiet a few Herons and the usual water fowl.

Been on holiday, filled all the feeders before I went. One completly empty not a lot in another, these have been raided by the magpies they are hanging on and getting their heads through the outer cage, throwing a lot out and others are picking the bits up from the ground. Another feeder with seed in it was still half full. I have seen a few Great Tits and blue Tits, Dunnock, Robin and Black Bird but not a lot else apart from Magpies by the dozen yes dozen. Late this morning a group of Long Tail Tits gave the Silver Birch tree a good picking over, great to see them again after a long while.

After a week the feeders are still half full, only odd birds about apart from Magpies.

A pile of feathers down the garden, could be we have had a visit from the Sparrow Hawk again, they look like from a Pigeon

All the usual birds are now returning to the feeders. Yesterday Great Tits, House Sparrows emptying the feeders fast. Greenfinches are now paying us a visit with a few Blue Tits odd Coal Tit, Black Birds are staying down the garden Dunnocks and Robin picking up the seed thrown out the feeders by the Sparrows. Also starting to return are the Wood Pigeons still get lots of Magpies can't get at the food in the feeders or the table I have put a cage around it. The Magpies are very persistant all have their thinking caps on trying to find a way of emptying the feeders.

All our usual birds are back Great Tits in large quantities, Green Finches, Blue Tits, Robin, Dunnocks, House Sparrows also large quantities, odd Wood Pigeon, Collard Doves, Coal Tit, Black Birds and today 14 plus Magpies all at the same time trying to get at the feed that I put out late last night.
