| Wrote... I am so pleased that I found this wonderful website whilst trying to find out about a Woodpecker we have which visits us every day. From your phot's he appears to be a Great Spotted Woodpecker, and has been around for many years. I was surprised to see that the House Sparrow is in decline, as we have a thriving community living in the ivy on our house. They have lived here for at least 10 years, and are a delight. We also have regular Robin's a a good deal of Bumble Bee's. The question I would like to ask is, how can I discourage Magpies from comming into the garden? They are bullies, and very noisy, and they chase away the other birds. | |

| Wrote... On a country walk in Leicestershire, near Bradgate Park today, my partner and I were thrilled to see a Yellowhammer in a partially leafless tree, singing away. At the time, we were not quite sure what it was. However, its brilliant yellow head was so distinctive that on returning home and checking with a number of books plus the RSPB website, there is no doubt that we had seen and heard a yellowhammer. Even more excited knowing that it now has Red Status. | |

| Wrote... What a fantastic website! I found it while looking for some info on blackbirds. Mama blackird built a nest in our bushy clematis. She had 6 (!) eggs out of which 5 hatched. Unfortunately we lost 2 of them due to cat's attack and the little one simply had a slim chance to survive in a crowded nest. I have really good photos of all of them. There are two nestlings remaining and they give me a lot of joy. Since they happen to have a single mum I help with putting out a box with maggots and get up at night when I hear her distraught cry. I managed to chase away the cat and a fox. Now I look forward to fledging which should hapen any time as the babies are 10 days old. I will be sleeping on my sofabed in the living room till then. :-) Bea | |

| Wrote... I have a female blackbird who has nested twice in my back garden this year. She has grown quite tame with me as I helped to feed her two first babies by digging up worms for them which she collected and took back to her nest, plus I chased off predatory cats and birds. I call her missy and at the moment her second lot of chicks have hatched and she is feeding them again with her husband lol. Both he and she love the cheese I give them because of the shortage of worms due to the warm weather. I feel very protective to missy and her babies and I hope she returns to nest next year. | |

Today we saw a group of around 6 sitting in the bush right outside our sliding doors eating these seeds. Beautiful colours and a sweet song. It also attract Great Tits,Blue Tits and Chaffinch | |

About two weeks ago, I heard one flying quite high up over the feilds behind my house, although I'm quite supprised coz that would have been quite early in April. Then I had a text from dad again saying that he saw a great spotted wood pecker in his front garden. | |

It is a very large tree with thousands of berries, which mostly get taken by collared doves in Nov/Dec. My resident blackbirds, unusually, have been taking them for a few days. Yesterday, the Redwings appeared, fought off the Blackbirds and stripped the tree. One returned today searching out the last few. I doubt that I will see them again. QUESTION SOMETHING WAS MOVING THE STEMS OF MY ROSE BUSHES AI THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. I COULDN'T SEE WHAT. wOULD REDWINGS EAT THE ROSE HIPS? DOES ANYONE KNOW? | |

Which I thought was a bit fantastic in itself but then by lunchtime the Fieldfare had seen them all off the middle of my lawn. I have had a very amusing day watching the Fieldfare chase them all off and the blackbirds also chasing each other. At one time a wren, blue tit, robin and goldfinch all appeared just to add to my excitement!!. It's lovely to see. Our housing estate is 10 years old and it is only in recent years the birds have returned. Even a friend of mine who isn't really into birds was interested in the Fieldfares antics!! She admitted she thought it would have been a thrush - but it definitely wasn't. I have seen 3 Fieldfares fairly close together over the last few days. | |

Then I do a mixed feed for the others. I get the cheapest scone from the super markets which they all love along with bird seed and meal worms. Yesterday 3 field fares arrived and took over one of my feeding places. they are very territorial. but theres plenty for every one I get such enjoyment from feedng | |
