Yard Bird Update 74
November 1st 2011 17:11
I recently got 4 poor shots of a visiting finch. Unfortunately, my zoom is not quite up to taking good quality shots of smaller birds - especially not those that like to jump about and turn away...
For a more general update, we are still having wood pigeons fledge in the tree outside my bedroom window - 2 new birds appeared squeakingly within the past week. Yes, photos will follow - but not yet, I am still 2-3 months behind!
Another set of birds still breeding, fairly late in the year I think, are the goldfinches. I spotted two adults and three young in the tree yesterday. I expect it is the exceptionally warm weather England is having this year - apparently the warmest October for many years. I am wondering when the birds are going to stop - I don't want to accidentally prune a hedge and reveal a nest of babies to the magpies or sparrowhawks!
