mr brack is taking bracket junior around the hood, wall top, big water pot, worm bed places to hide
the young one might be paying attention but mostly it wants dad to stuff its beak with dried mealworms
going by the shape of jnr, mr brack's diligent worm delivery service has converted into a strong , plump, bracket junior
the sparrows are busy, some returners, less than they started with last year, perhaps it was a hard winter or the colony has divided |

Fantastic shot DPack.
We saw two coal tits playing in our garden yesterday. Never seen them before, so I hope they come back. Also had some gold finches on the seed feeder, I've not seen them before either, so hopefully they will be back.
I've also noticed them some sparrows have built a nest in part of the house where the swifts usually nest, so I guess we'll not be getting any swifts this year? |
Thanks
coaltits are quite rare, goldfinches are ace the flatbilly lands of yorkshire seemed to have a lot of them where the landscape was suitable
swifts are quite adaptable and do not compete with sparrows for food or location so you may get both
i did the washing up a half a meter below several swift nests, with babies, on a campsite
greek ones are welcomed domestic guests, see mossies etc as well as charming
i had a moment with several hundred catching insects with a 20cm ALOW warning, they flew around and under and through my slow shapes
between floor and a couple of meters up was where the food was, a bloke is little more than a tree stump if your time is t and his is t to the -4. they are well quick.
barn ones are rather nice and reduce flies |
