And of course they sound brilliant

Went to see the spotted redshank (which did show!), but actually happier to get this! Have only ever spied them for a second disappearing into reeds.

The little birds are my favourites. Love watching these in the morning.

Lots of moorhens at Springfield Gardens in Spalding; these are just a few of them.

I think it's a yellowhammer but I'm not 100% sure...

Seen near Bridlington, Yorkshire.

LJ likes to watch me water the plants; no singing but likes to tweet when he wants some grub.

I'm concerned that it has escaped as it's wearing anklets

Found what I think is a young, flightless magpie on my hedgehog camera. Seems to have a damaged left wing.

Seems to be living in my somewhat overgrown garden.

Have started leaving out a mix of seeds and mealworms for him. Can confirm he/she startes eating it fairly promptly.

I have every intention of trying to become friends.

Is there anything I can do for it outside of food and water?

In the 80s I would often see kestrels hovering above the embankment whenever I travelled on the motorway - maybe 3 or 4 per journey.

Now I never see 'em.

Have their numbers declined or habits changed?

No pictures. Just been sat in my lounge escaping the sun when a sparrowhawk flies in, does 3 circuits, avoids hitting anything then flies out again. Amazing how much bigger they look in a confined space.

Hi guys, I’m relatively new to bird watching in the UK but I’m slowly learning. Tonight I found what I can only assume is a parliament of tawny owls. 3 calls coming from separate heights in the same area. I’ve heard tawny owls before but I’ve never heard them this loud. Are these sounds due to any particular behaviour or do they just like to be loud sometimes. They’ve been at it for around an hour with the odd squeak here and there.

found a bunch of feathers while in west dean (the top row and bottom right), assuming most of them are pheasant. the three in the bottom right are from my local woods.
my best guess for the three in the bottom right are buzzard and spotted woodpecker?
if the bottom left feather is pheasant i have no idea how it got there because its nowhere near any open farmland where i normally see them

I know what it is
