Well I think it's time I started a new thread as the old one is way tooooooo long now but can still be found here:
https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/206786/in-my-garden
Also the garden has been renamed Parkneuk Reserve ;-)
Hope you all had a fabulous festive period and are all safe and well.
I have yet to venture out this year so it's just been me in my sparrowhawk hide (lol) aka Iona Summerhouse
So here's a few pics to kick off the new thread...hopefully get some new visitors this year..well I can live in hope ;-)
Jock taking pride of place in the Sprawk Hide
Had a mixture of sun, Frost and rain
Social distancing lollipops
Ringo hiding

Redwing ...half decent pic finally
And my lovely crows who are always on the look out for Jock!
Thanks for looking and hope you all continue to follow to the progress of my garden

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lot to learn
Thanks Gaynor...am hoping to see some young woodpeckers again this year ;-)
I think Mr foxy has had trauma to his face at some point as in close up pics he looks like he has a hair lip or something strange...poor guy :-(
Either that or he's a typical boy with a constant smirk on his face lol

A long overdue update Linda, but good to know the renovations, if somewhat slow, are progressing.
I have to say, that magpie on the Buddha statue does appear to be giving Buddha tha adoring eye!
Nice to see the foxes are still visiting, and talking of foxes, we have been getting regular visits from fox cubs, with a parent either very close by or in the proximity. I've already uploaded some videos, with lots more to upload, plus stills from a morning visit.

Riyad said:I saw a bird in my garden. I have cctv footage of it eating my fish from my pond! It looks like a seagull but the eyes and beak looks like an albatross! Can anyone help me identify it?
As Linda says, most likely a grey heron, and the do have a reputation for taking fish from garden ponds, and size is no object.
