Hi Rachmaninov2

That's interesting, thanks for letting us know.

That comes around quickly, Yes I will be keeping count 😊

Thanks for the reminderNo doubt most of mine will be sparrows - last year was a bumper year for breeding . I live in a small terrace and there were at least 6 nests in the eaves. I love them.

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to MadBunny]

Yes, sparrows and pigeons!

[MadBunny]

Only the occasional wood pigeon here. We've had a couple of black caps this year , too

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to MadBunny]

I’m lucky to have wood pigeons, ring necked doves, parakeets, robins, blackbirds, great tits, blue tits, and gold finches. I love to watch them. Forgot the dunnocks and magpies.

[MadBunny in reply to Rachmaninov2]

I get all of those except the parakeetsOh- and 2 robins, one 'owns 'the front garden, the other the back ☺️

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to MadBunny]

Robins are fiercely territorial aren’t they. They’ve found a compromise. 🥰

[MadBunny in reply to Rachmaninov2]

Yep. And I get one singing outside my bedroom window in the mornings. A lovely way to wake up.

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to MadBunny]

Sure is, and we have the dawn chorus to look forward to in Spring.

[MadBunny in reply to Rachmaninov2]

Oh yes.
