More than a month earlier than last year, Kestrels paid my nest box a surprise visit this week! After I hurriedly cleared the box of an old squirrel’s drey, the female immediately returned to inspect the new bedding. (Photos digiscoped through living room window)

Was feeling a bit nesh today, so I made do with a bit of arm chair birding; a flock of 95 Fieldfare greatly appreciated the windfall apples I put out for them but the highlight of the day was a skein of circa 380 Pink-footed Geese that flew west early afternoon.

Spent most of 2024 birding from my garden; it's amazing what turned up during my DIY and gardening breaks!
Hoping for more of these in 2025! 🤞

Finally finished my Deluxe Little Owl nest box today.
I hope they appreciate the effort!

17 breeding seasons and 42 chicks later, my recycled classroom blackboard finally gave up the ghost.
I’ll hopefully have a ‘new improved’ version up very soon!

Plenty of Redwing and Fieldfare around the garden at the moment; I was surprised that only one or two came down to the meal I'd prepared for them 🤔
