It is getting to that time of year when birds start looking for new nests. If you haven’t got a nestbox up in your garden why don’t you put one up this weekend for the start of National Nestbox Week. For more info visit www.nestboxweek.com

The new episode of Get Birding Podcast is out now focusing on Birdsong. I thought I’d watch the episode on YouTube, was real good.

I should call this tree The Finch tree because that’s were all the finch species all flock to, I see Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch and the occasional Siskin. A flock of Goldfinches were there but they all flew off before I could take a picture.

Can’t believe it’s 15 years ago on this day I saw my first ever flock of Waxwings in the garden. It’s been the only time but I have seen them in various parts of town sadly not seen them this year…..yet.
