Anyone had goldfinches yet this year? My mate in Stoke has been getting them in his garden for over a month but not a dickybird in mine despite me baiting the feeder with niger seeds.

Yeah, we've had a few here in Somerset. They don't migrate so they must be around hiding somewhere. I still haven't seen any swallows yet though which is a surprise.
 
Spent a few days in Spain last week and saw some interesting stuff.

One I'd never seen before, a Short-Toed Tree Creeper.

Has she only got one breast?
 
Went up to Gigrin Farm earlier on today in Rhyader. Bit of a trek but well worth it if you can get there. Got a few pics, they're not great but here they are...

Owl and red kites? Fantastic pictures 👍

Thank you, they're all kites, the white one is a rare white coloured red kite. Had a read online and it's thought to be only one of ten in the world.
 
One more, sorry. I spotted this Canada Goose protecting it's nest looking right at me...
