Clever birds are Cor*ids :P


Yer I don't like cats I've probably mentioned that on this thread at some point, they are basically wildlife killing machines.

Saw a Barn Owl hunting at the side of the M1 last night not seen or heard one for a while now so was a nice sight.

I. Hate. Squirrels.
Man, oh man, how I detest them damned vermin. They're seriously interfering with every move we make in bird feeding. Even if they can't get at the food, they hang around making a fuss and scaring away the birds who would be there, or they chew through strings & wires suspending stuff, or fling themselves off the roof or branches in the hope of an aeriel assault.

And they dozy old fart next door is encouraging them even more by laying out food on the floor for them, and scattering it out into the road to attract them from far and wide.He thinks they are "cute". Cute. They're bloody RATS that live in trees.

Apart from chewing through £50 of solar light wiring so far, they have now started chewing on the fence-mounted armoured cable serving the fishpond pumps. Although, it'd be worth needing to call in a Sparks just to see one of the b8888's fry.

*deep breath* rant over

Wren parents with gaggle of fledgelings down this morning. They are so ridiculously teensy-weensy.

But ... but ... my squirrel was one of the really cute ones, I don't think he will do any of those nasty, ill-mannered things.

My cat likes 'bird watching' she tries to catch them but is too fat :l
I seem to spend a lot of my time discouraging cats in my garden - they are not fat enough to be too lazy to try to get the birds.

It would be nice to have a wren visit the gardens. We have had broods of House Sparrows, Blackbirds and Starlings at the feeders. Sadly, I think the magpie or a cat got the Gold Finch fledglings as they have not been seen :(
