Where have all the wee birdies gone ?

[hellogreg]

I'm not a bird watcher but I do have a bird table and a couple of feeders but the only birds I have seen for a good while are Crows , Blackbirds and Magpies ....even the starlings seem to have gone along with all the tit's and robins .....

Maybe a bit early yet with the weather being so mild

About this time of year. They tend to go into cover to help stay warm and dry. And were there is still food to be had. But will slowly start to be more regular visitors to the bird tables.

Don't know where you are Adrian, perhaps there is a lot of other natural food available, though I would have thought it is a bit late for a glut of berries, nuts, insects; but it has been mild.

Here in NW Scotland the garden is full. The majority are chaffinches - I counted 17 on the ground under a feeder this morning. There are also greenfinches, coal tits, a goldfinch, and a couple of bramblings.

For the first time for ages we had a load of sparrows- also green woodpecker, nuthatch, spotted woodpecker, goldfinches, robins and blue/ great tits. I was thinking there are more this year.

Robins, tits and wrens are here every day!

The starlings have done their annual migration from SW Scotland, to make room for the geese

Thanks for all the replies I'm in Derry in Northern Ireland ....I'll keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks to see if they return ....

See Robin posting a bit about his 100 400 mkii, not seen many female naval people on here and as for the middle one, I am sitting right here! Huh some people do not care who they insult
