Busy afternoon on and around the feeder #BirdingWales

Not really designed for feeding from a feeder, but this collared dove is giving a good go #BirdingWales

And still the fledglings come - a young blackbird successfully begging for food from the parent bird in my garden this afternoon #BirdingWales

Doesn't seem to matter what type of feeder it is - a woodpecker will always find a way -a joy to watch. #BirdingWales

The Collared Doves are daily visitors to the garden - but apparently three's a crowd - taken just before the one in the front was driven off by the one behind it. #BirdingWales

One of the Robins who frequent the garden - having a bit of seed this morning #BirdingWales

Silage cutting in the field behind our house brought out the kites and buzzards yesterday evening. #BirdingWales

New fat ball feeder, because much as I like a Jackdaw the locals are eating me out of house and home. So far this little bluetit is the only one to work out how to get at the goodies...#Birdingwales

Beautiful chaffinch sporting a rather natty mohican - from the feeder last week #BirdingWales

Well this has made my day 😊. I was happy when the pond-skaters arrived in our rehabilitated pond, but today spotted this little newt. Definitely a case of 'if you build it they will come' #nature #newts

Another returner to to the feeder after a couple of months absence - adding a splash of colour #BIrdingWales

New visitor to the feeder yesterday 😊#BirdingWales

The Nuthatches, which had been regular visitors to my feeders, disappeared in early spring (presumably off nesting) , but this one turned up last week - youngster I think. #BirdingWales

Feed Me! Slightly soggy goldfinches this morning #BirdingWales

Lovely to see both a dragonfly and damselfly around my newly rehabilitated pond #nature

This delightful Robin serenaded me while I was gardening yesterday #BirdingWales

Doing a bit of computing when I looked out the window to realise it was feeding time #BirdingWales

The Bluetits are still busy in the nesting box #BirdingWales

The local rooks not happy with the local kites today - just one of about four encounters I saw while gardening #BirdingWales

One of the many House Sparrows who visit my garden, taken yesterday, but I'm watching a small horde through the window as I type #BirdingWales

More swallows arriving and flying overhead - best I can do with my equipment #BirdingWales

Yay! First swallow over the house today 😊 #BirdingWales

One of the local Red Kites enjoying the sunshine (and stiff breeze) over the garden today. Never get bored of watching them. #BirdingWales

Well, after a fortnight of calling my garden chiffchaff finally decided to pose for his photo #Birdingwales

Well this splash of colour is an unexpected surprise and delight on my feeder this afternoon #BirdingWales

Raked some moss of the lawn, left it handily placed and now being used by the bluetits (who have decided our new nest box cuts the mustard) as nesting material #birdingwales

Still full throttle nest building for the local rooks and using one of my trees for nesting material, although not happy with the local kites this morning #birdingwales

Full throttle nest building at the local rookery. Photos can't capture the constant chatter going on. #birdingwales

Local Rooks are regular visitors to the garden, this one particularly intent on getting at the suet 'protected' for the small birds. Taken through the window so slightly blurry. #Birdingwales

Been enjoying the many small birds in my garden the last few days #Birdingwales
