And so it begins..........again

 Just a quick blog to get going again.

 At last I got back into my blog and for the first time in quite a while I had some time to just sit and enjoy the company of the garden birds.

 Last year the Blackbird pair nested in our buddleia and managed to successfully raise two broods. Today they spent most of the day chasing around ours and the neighbouring gardens. Both of them will stand on the patio waiting for suet pellets. 

 All I could hear was the Benny Hill tune as the male continued to run after the female. 😉

 One of the Pied Wagtail pair came down for mealworms.

 The Dunnock & Wren were flitting in and out of the conifers and ivy. The Dunnock is always wary coming in to the garden as nearly every time it will be chased back out by the resident Robin.

 The only Corvids we get into the garden at the moment are the Jackdaws, it has been a long time since we had a Crow in.

 Along with the Starlings and House Sparrows, the Goldfinches are one of the most frequent and numerous visitors to our garden with anywhere up to 20+ 

 Hopefully I will get to spend more time back out with Nature and also may add a few rock gig posts too, as both have been so important to my mental health.

Thanks for coming back and reading.

30 Days Wild 2022 - Day 2 - The Tenants & New Tech(for me)

 

 A busy day so when I got home I decided to sit outside in the garden and try and photograph the roof tenants 😉 Hopefully though , in the coming weeks my 30 Days Wild campaign will spread beyond our garden.

The noisy tenants are the House Sparrows with at least 2 nests under the tiles currently with chicks.

 The star tenants though are mostly quiet except when they are screaming past the bedroom window in pursuit of insects. The Swifts.

 While I was writing this quick blog out, a charm of Goldfinches arrived on the sunflower heart feeders with the first juveniles I've seen this year. There were 7 or 8 birds with at least 3 youngsters. I quickly grabbed my camera and stopped writing to upload a few photos.

 Earlier today I was able to test some new technology for me even though the camera in question is 8 years old. A GoPro Hero. I charged it up and placed it into the bird bath to test if it still worked okay.

 As I mentioned earlier, hopefully I will not be restricted to my garden for the whole 30 Days Wild and will be able to expand on the diversity of Wildlife I can share with you.

Thank you for reading. :)
