Hello, I have European Robins nesting in the garden this spring :3:

Quite unusually (for my garden) there was a single goldfinch hanging around all day, and it even let me get close enough for a photo. Hoping there's nothing wrong with it, as they're usually too skittish for humans to walk up to them...

that's worrying :( keep an eye on him and for any other finches acting off - it could be that nasty virus in which case you should take down your feeders for a couple weeks and disinfect them

I never saw him again after that :(

On the other hand I'm seeing more goldfinches than ever around here, so hopefully it was just an unlucky one

My blue tits hatched today :3:

Hoping they'll stick around in my garden like last year so I get to see them before they're off

:rip: Harvey the blackbird memorial post :coolbird:

I had a distinctively leucistic blackbird take on my garden as his territory this spring, which is obviously cool and awesome. Who doesn't like a bird you can actually tell apart from the others?

He could cling to feeders, which is an unusual talent for blackbirds


He likes a bath, like all other blackbirds


He was unfortunately also delicious, like all other blackbirds :sigh:

A 100% deserved meal for the sparrow hawk - if you slow it down a little, you can see how well it manoeuvers its approach in the span of about 3-4 frames. I don't know if it comes on automatically when I embed a video, but the clip has audio.

e: vv Thanks! VV
