Birds!

It's the annual RSPB garden bird survey this weekend. If you can spare an hour to watch the birds in your garden and report your findings it will help RSPB assess how our common birds are coping with life (climate/changing farming/changing gardens etc)

See www.rspb.org.uk for details

.... no Jacs think your birds would throw it into great confusion Being next to fields and woods we get some lovely birds here including a pair of greater spotted woodpeckers, a jay and even a heron who comes to look at he netted fish in a pond next door
I have a little wren in the small wall next to the lawn who seems to have been here for many years, a half bald blackbird , and a very tame robin who lost its entire lot of nestlings to a cat last year...not eaten just strewn on the ground. If I did the survey I bet none of them would appear

...yes I saw something about that on TV
amazing little bird with a blue chest

We are not far from Slimbridge here and get the Bewick swans and wild geese going over, what a heart stopping sight that is and the noise they make I think they use the river severn to navigate to Slimbridge

Jacs now I have a camera (if I can work it ) I will try to get a pic of the GS Woodpeckers
