Speakman was Mark, s name that escaped you.

It's a BBC change of programme. because they have a PC duty to keep its puplic informed regarding the corona virus . Why didn't they have enough news outlets? Beggars belief

It works but doesn't open enough to be able too read it even after a double click

Looks very nice Mike. I would have numerous ponds and water features if my garden was set up like that.

Thanks for sharing Russell

Thanks mate. Took a few years to get established, still not got it right. Looking forward to seeing the pictures

That's what you call a action shot . Fantastic picture

It's only a little end terraced house with a small garden about 40ft long going down to a point triangle shaped with a few tree's. I live about 60 yards from a old demolished school with a bit of a wood, so the birds have to travel a bit but not much. But once they know about a food supply, they keep coming back , then other birds see them and follow. Just found this picture from a few summer's ago

As you all know with me having to self isolate and I'm taking pictures of the birds that visit my garden i thought would make a list of them. On a daily basis I get . Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long Tailed Tit Goldfinch, Bullfinch, Chaffinch , Wren. Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird. House Sparrow. Song Thrush, Wood Pigeon, Collared Dove. Magpie. Jay. .I also occasionally get Greater spotted woodpecker. Goldcrest Greenfinch, Starling, Mistle Thrush. Sparrowhawk. Nuthatch. Siskin. Redwing. And flying around I get Peregrine Falcon. Buzzard. Raven. Carrion Crow, Jackdaw. Ring necked parakeet. Not a bad list considering that I only live 3 miles away from Manchester city centre city

The last time that I heard them sing was in Pembrokeshire a few years ago after the beast from the east put spring back a few weeks and the males where still singing at the end of May. I have left again when they start singing again for the second brood so I don't normally hear them.

Not a problem my friend. Be safe

Great series of pictures again mate as ever. Love Yellowhammers ,don't see them near me, have to travel but thats not a option at the moment . Glad to see Sarah has recovered from her fall after dancing around at the virtual nighter

Jaco. Trust all is well and safe. There is one in the pipeline I believe. Watch this space. No doubt Simon. Jordan or BazM will post the details as soon as. Steve
