They seems to have had a perfect year for breeding, we have had a record number of young, all very keen on mealy worms.We have just had 18 young starlings in the new cut grass. I think they where happy.

Ian , just yesterday we saw a Magpie being chased by a Collared Dove, it was in full pursuit.A good year for all the feathered friends, some more welcomed than others. On the less gappy side is a whole flock of magpie!
There ust be twenty or more all of which went to war in the tree outside our bedroom window. At 3:30 this a.m.
I'd have expected the other way around!Ian , just yesterday we saw a Magpie being chased by a Collared Dove, it was in full pursuit.
Yes indeed, but think an incursion by the Magpie into the nesting area was the result.I'd have expected the other way around!

We have had a falcon buzzing around the garden for a few days. It is amusing to see the smaller swallows, sparrow and blackbirds chase it off..I'd have expected the other way around!

It is indeed Jim. Yesterday she was waiting for the water to soak into the soil and bring worms to the surface . The water from the filter house runs back into the pond through some stones, most mornings there are birds drinking and bathing. We sit for hrs watching them .That's great John. It's a wonderful feeling when a wild creature shows such trust. At the moment the hot weather means water is needed more than food.
