The Birds In The Garden And Everywhere Else Thread

[Darran]

The amount of birds we get in the garden where I live is amazing but I haven’t seen a greenfinch here for several years because of Trichomonosis.

When we moved to Somerset in 2004, Greenfinches were regulars on our feeders for the first 3 maybe 4 years, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time, then they just stopped and it was just the occasional one every few years. Until the last 2 years when they've become more frequent, not back to their early numbers but definitely on the increase. And here's one of them.

We don’t get any at all Dave.

If numbers are recovering around here, maybe its just a matter of time. Hope so anyway.

Had a couple on the sunflower hearts yesterday.
A Blackcap on the peanuts this morning.

Haven't seen one greenfinch since our birdfeeder went in here in the Bont in February. We used to get them regularly here in the mid Eighties. Getting a lovely Greater Spotted Woodpecker every day though.

Every picture tells a story, as someone once said.

Yes, we're getting daily visits from.a GS Woodpecker atm too, nice that they keep such bright plumage all through winter when many birds don't.

Ham Wall is only 15 minutes from my house and one of my regular haunts although only been there a couple of times in the last 12 months. Usually go once a year late January to see the Starling roost and it's usually very good but fair play, that vid is exceptional!
