With its wide diversity of trees young and old, Victoria Square is home to a good number of birds. Today I spotted Blue and Great tits, Nuthatches, a Treecreeper and two Goldcrests, Crows and Jackdaws, Blackbirds and Song thrushes, a Greenfinch calling from a tree top, and several of these beautiful Redwings energetically turning leaves in the never-ending search for food. I sprinkled some seed about in the less snowy places close to trees and left them to it.
They are such beautiful birds, we had a spate of them in the garden a few weeks ago until they had polished off all the berries!
Lovely! It certainly doesn’t take them long to gobble down all the berries.
Oh, there are lots of other birds, Sparrows, Robins, all the Tits, Dunnocks, Blackbirds, Thrushes, Crows, Jackdaws and Magpies etc.. it is just that we are missing Starlings; Redwings will be along in force later and we’ll get some Fielfares too. Sorry to have caused confusion!
Excellent news!
Such diversity you have there. I saw one Redwing in my tree yesterday and the day before that, a whole Starling!
Goodness, that’s not a lot. What a shame there’s not more bird life for you to watch.
