Funnily enough my husband sent me a photo of a Greenfinch on our feeder (whilst I was at work!!!) yesterday, first time in a long time, there is only a handful around. Well if you make your way over this way in an afternoon the Peregrine is pretty much a guaranteed spot at the moment!

I think Chaffinch and Greenfinch numbers are low too.Also not had as many Redwing this year. <br />Hope the Peregrine stayed about, a bird I have not seen knowingly as well as Pink footed.

We've noticed that the robins and collard doves do come and sit close to the windows especially if they are waiting for the ground and window feeders to be topped up with nibbles:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-39622537844979999802019-02-18T22:43:48.552+00:002019-02-18T22:43:48.552+00:0027 is a great start!

I am excited about the migrants that are on the way and I look forward to their arrival, the spring flowers are really lovely for sure! It's always a bit scary to think frost can come along and take spring away...we have the same threat here too.

If the Peregrine Falcon sticks around it would be really interesting to try to identify its prey; sometimes severed heads will provide the evidence you need! I envy you the snowdrops in your garden. We are about four weeks away from spring bloom here. If you locate the owl be sure to let us know which species.David M.
