My Scunthorpe Garden 2024

Pete
We had our first frost of the year this morning and our first 7 House Sparrows into our Caistor garden, they only seem to come in during colder weather lately. No idea why that should be though.

It's interesting you have 32 House Sparrows John, it's now 13th. Jan and so far we have not had one! I'll post on the forum the minute we see our first one. 

Regards Pete

Jan 12th: the House Sparrows (Spuggies) have returned to their stronghold of the front garden now that the feeders are full, now have three nut ones, one sfh one and one fb, started getting better quality fat balls with seeds in especially for the smaller birds but also getting the standard ones for the corvids.

After an enforced lay off of six weeks and next to no views of any birds it was nice to draw the curtains and see what there was, as the feeders were still empty not a lot was seen:

Goldcrest was seen first on the cherry tree, made my day.
Crow - 2 on conifer
Blackbird - 2m having some apples i had thrown out.
Blue Tit - 2
Great Tit - 2
Goldfinch - 4
Chaffinch - 3
