My Garden 2020

April 4th: LT Tit - 2 on fat balls. Great & Blue Tit - 2 of each. Male sprawk made low pass into back garden, left with nowt.
April 5th: LT Tit as above.
April 6th: Chiffchaff with a piece of grass or straw in back garden flitting between the conifer and weigelia, nice to see it. Female Blackbird on nest in privet front garden. As all the feeders need refilling (I am in isolation with distancing/shielding) but a friend is bringing a bag of peanuts later in week. While sat in lounge spotted what I thought was a tiny bird eating the nuts, wrong, it was a Wood Mouse so got a few vids and pics, it must be residing in the ivy next to it (will put this on general wildlife in a mo.
Also noted on N/V camera at 05:31 could hear a Wren singing very loudly, many others were singing but not sure what they were, it really picks up the sounds.

I registered for the Nasa and Esa sightings a few years ago but don't own a smartfone so use this lappy.

Another good do at the beck for you especially kingfisher and brambling.

Been trying to work out what part of bottesford you reside, but don't say on here. I live very close to bottesford almost touching the boundary my grandparents had a smallholding in bottesford that went down to the beck in the 1950s certainly changed!

Will put camera out tonight see what is about.
