We've got various male and female Blackbirds chasing each other around the
garden, a Robin getting fractious at some of the tits (Blue and Great) for
some reason, male Bullfinch, a couple of Chaffinches but the most exciting
thing was a couple of weeks ago, two male Goldcrests running rings around
each other. Still have the usual Collared Doves and Wood Pigeons and a
fly-in by a Sparrowhawk which now finds it difficult to hide!

Still got the hen Pheasant coming in and cleaning up the barley that
nothing else wants and now it's looking around the other gardens now that
it's feeling brave. Has anyone got an old live cock Pheasant they don't
want ?

Your garden sounds a bit busier than mine Richard LOL
I guess now that it's colder they feel more vulnerable, and protective ....
Great Entertainment!

I've just shot a rat that looks the size of an adult rabbit! Serves it
right for digging under the compost frame.
