Starting with a first for me ... Sparrowhawk in neighbour's garden here in quarry, only ever seen a seemingly lost youngster many years ago!
Grabbed ID vid footage through d/glazed door, then battery died & by time I'd replaced it to go outside for better res a delivery driver stopped next door & frightened the bird off!! grrrrrr
Hope it's a one-off for the sake of my Spadger horde!

Lot to learn
One of the garden Robins looking after my beans this afternoon, we think it might be nesting around the back of our pergola. I'd be really happy if he hoovered up the blackfly on the beans.

Thank you Hazel and Gaynor, its becoming quite a friendly Robin and follows us around when working in the garden. It also has the tendency to suddenly appear within a couple of feet of your face at times, quite startling.
A Mipit from last weekend (the last time the sun was out!)
He/she wasn't as one-legged as it looks

Wondering if this was Jackdaw chatter or maybe young in a nest?
Couldn't detect any movement!
If they do turn up in your garden this is what you will see LOL
