Getting ready for Spring

[Brian4]

Nowt to do with cars but ready for our feathered friends. We have some and this is for some family members. We have a good variety of birds in the garden.

 

[Grumps]

Our garden thrives with bird life. Love to see them going around their business but we have two dogs and they know when the chicks have hatched. It's a nightmare, proper upsets Jue when they get one. They work as a team, Woody our Spaniel flushes them out and Benny our Yorkshire terrier cross does the rest.

I have half a dozen boxes around the garden, we have had Marsh Tits, great tits and blue tits as well as robins all using them, had wagtails in one and a spotted flycatcher,

We seem to have an abundance of Pied wagtails and also Jenny Wrens too. Robins another regular, then in spring House Martins who take delight in crapping on my poor car!

Alan made a lovely bird table out of pieces of wood that was left over from the shed he made
We get lots of lovely birds in our garden now

I was driving past the neighbor's house the other day and caught a movement of some sort on their roof. It turned out to be a huge vulture that had been feeding on a road kill. When there are several of them feeding on something in the street, perhaps 5 or 6, they seem a bit more brazen and fearless and you can get up to about 20 feet from them before they start to move away from you. Their heads almost come up to my hips. I sometimes watch them as they position themselves around their meal and they sometimes squabble with each other but it's funny to see them move around as they don't seem to walk around as much as hop around...........................Frankie

Good job Tony dose not have to contend with vultures crapping on his car lol.

 

[t-tony]

True but we do get Turkey Buzzards at the Villa in Florida.

Fortunately no vultures here just the occasional sparrow hawk catching the pigeons, and then cleaning the feathers up after them.

Used to be plagued with flies in the stables in summer until I put up a few bird feeders, a lot less flies now. Prefer birds to flies, anyway, especially the robin that follows me about in the mornings, hell of a lot of noise from something that small.
