Itās been a while since Iāve seen either, as someone that regularly changes out feeders with clean ones; I have a numerousĀ stock of feeders people have given me over the years so I change the ones in the garden at each fill, I have hoped to get flocks of healthy greenfinches in my garden, but sadly thereās not a lot of them around any more and to see one is a highlight of this winterā¦ erm I mean summer (donāt think it got above 12C here in Edinburgh today!) then to get 2 bullfinches as well it was pretty special.
Todayās birds:
- Blackbird x 1 male
- Bullfinch x 2, m and f
- Dunnock x 1
- Great Tit x 1 looked to be a chick
- Greenfinch x 1
- House Sparrow x 20+ including chicks very happy with that
- Jackdaw x 4
- Woodpigeon x 2
For those wondering about my dystonia Iāve been trying new medicines and looking atĀ trying to relax more while thinking of work problems I find watching birds a great help as well as newts in the pond, fern leaves swaying in the wind and occasionally getting a loupe viewer out to view mosses, or just enjoy the carpets of moss that this cold summer has started to form, I never appreciated how much moss was a calming influence and great for people with brain issues like mine, it slows the twitching down.
