These little visitors have suddenly started frequenting our table and feeders. They are hard to catch as they dart around feverishly, snatching a seed then flying off to sit on a twig then disapeear round the front of the house on to another feeder..
There have been sightings of the Crested Tits in the area and everyone likes to see a Crested Tit as they are much more rare....but sadly, still rare in our garden.
Today I saw a buzzard, circling above me while I biked through the grounds of Castle Grant. It called to me so I stopped and watched this madnificent bird looking for a rabbit in the fields below.
Buzzards like a mixture of woods and fields so around here is ideal for them. There are plenty of rodents but fewer rabbits than ever before. I expect they take out the abundant pheasants that live everywhere, having left the boundaries of the shoot areas. We have at least 6 in our garden at times. All the cocks together, bold and colourful then the hens scuttling away under the bushes, much less significant and harder to spot.
We also have a wood pigeon coming to the garden. They are all welcome here.
