It is nice to be back to see the changes that haveĀ occurredĀ in just one week of being away, shocked by the amount ofĀ DaffodilsĀ in my garden, which can be great for attracting finches and I encourage to grow in the right spots in the garden.
This is the first spring Iāve been in the garden and Iām impressed by whatās coming up so far.Ā As for the birds, not a great deal around, I did see 2 Coal Tits mating, but not sure if the blue tit has continued with the nest at the end of the garden, didnāt see any activity about it at all today. Ā However that was the same last year in the previous garden, frantic activity for about 4 to 5 days, then nothing for almost 2 weeks, time to sit on eggs maybe? Ā Then frantic activity for about 16 days, and 4 young eventually fledged.
Hereās the list for today:
- Blackbird x 1 ā heard only
- Blue Tit x 1 ā think itās the one nesting in the nest box, but havenāt seen any birds in the box.
- Carrion crow x 1
- Coal Tit x 2 ā saw them mating.
- Dunnock x 3
- Greenfinch x 2 ā my mum who is visiting from Australia felt these looked like Budgies! Ā Guess she doesnāt notice theĀ parrotĀ beak to the finch beak, she was a little away from them, so Iāll forgive her.
- Magpie x 2
- Woodpigeon x 2
