tree creepin

garden feeders

the pair of breeding nuthatches from last year didnt return and since then i have had a lot of trouble catching up with them(only seen them twice before now) so it was a big suprise to see 2 feeding on the next doors tree.a treecreeper was on the tree in my garden and a female blackcap was in a nearby willow.2 robin young have taken residence in the garden and are giving good view.2 golcrest were latched onto the tit flock in the garden.also 3 each of chaffinch and coal tit.

Hello MB, thanks for the comment on my blog. Two Arctic Terns is a good record inland at this time I reckon. Keep working the patch and you will add to your growing list I'm sure. Isee you like Waxwings. We get them most winters up here in Northumberland and last winter was a belter. I couldnt go out without bumping into them! I hope you get some on your local patch this year...Good Luck!
