As this could to be a monumental year, with the possibility of the first breeding Ospreys in Poole for a very long time, and the chance of more relocated birds returning I thought we might as well start off a new thread.

Thank you, Richard - I'll check those out after "lunch" :)

♀ siskin methinks.
Heaven forfend, Cringer !!! My first Siskins (courtesy LG feeder) were green, then it turned out they could be yellow, now they're brown 'n pink. How do you expect me to keep up?!
IMAGICAT
I'm pretty sure it is not a siskin, to upright a stance and a little to big as well as colouring not right. Still not sure what is is though, it could be a Winchat as Richard suggested but they are not know to nest in the area and are only seen on migration. I'm wondering whether its some type of pippit but foxed at the moment. More research needed.

I saw a vaguely similar pippit during my Googlings, but didn't have time to take it further.
Oops! PIPIT!
A poor shot but here it is anyway, just in case it helps:
Good Morning All
No problem identifying this one - Corvid LOL

Lol, MARY, I saw that going thru the day and didn't snap it (a) because I couldn't tell which corvid and (b) thinking you'd have captured it :)

"Robbo" has stated baldly and authoritatively "Stonechat". And I expertly decided it must be female, having only seen males on the LG nest :)
Good Morning all
The Blackie is back on the perch this morning
I'm only just checking yesterday's footage and got a nice surprise from the morning :)
I claim this is a pair of Jackdaws!
One of them intended to pinch some nest material but dropped is when they were (apparently) scared off:
And late afternoon...
MrStonechat !!! and a Coal Tit:
I didn't examine the hinterland.
