What a grey day...

Gopher writes North Dorset - glorious sunshine with just a line of distant cloud to the S & SW. Goldfinches, Redpolls and Siskins cramming the nyjer seed feeders with the usual squabbling. Chaffinches, Greenfinches, Sparrows polishing off the seed and sunflower hearts at amazing speed and Great, Blue and Coal Tits mobbing the nut feeders. We get long tailed tits on the fat feeders. They're very good value, since they are a lot less worried about humans than other tits are. We saw those here for the first time last year. I'm so pleased even though they're only occasional visitors. And whatever likes Niger seeds isn't bothering with us much atm. Diligently hoovering up at ground level the woodpigeons and pheasants are ably assisted by the odd dunnock and any sparrow and chaffy overflow. The bully boy starlings appear to be observing a New Year resolution of better behaviour. And I haven't seen so many male blackbirds for a long time - about 10 at any one time; Apparently we get a big winter influx of migrant blackbirds I've actually seen a pair thinking about courtship just this morning. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.
