WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

[greenfinch2]

and the ponies

[nuthatch]

Lovely, greenfinch

Do they sort of belong to anyone?

[nuthatch]

Wednesday was a quiet day and we managed a walk round the reserve and i got a surprise not very clear as it was a distance and very little to see ,the ponies were having a graze and lots of tree sparrows and chaffie"s but i found the Bearded Tits.

Brilliant and a

Chris Peckham would be over the moon too

[greenfinch2]

I would think they belong to RSPB ,they are wild ponies from Poland I think they can stand the NE cold.

[nuthatch]

From Poland wow, so were they rescued and/or imported ?

They couldn't have wanted them just to decorate the landscape??

The Long Tailed Tits are now regular at the feeders! also we had 4 Greenfinches, good news as we haven't had any for over a year

[greenfinch2]

They are called Konik ponies they eat all the rough grass and rashes they are looked on as a bit wild ,but they are never near the walk paths.

[nuthatch]

I was just thinking about them keeping the grass in check and providing manure, which helps other wildlife or is that mostly cowpats here?

I remember you telling us of the Konik ponies now, greenfinch - d'oh

Greenfinches

Great that the LTTs are regulars now - they look so sort of fluffy, like chicks

For one glorious moment the SF hearts feeder had 2 Redpolls, 2 Greenfinch and a female Blackcap. A colourful mix

Hope you get some more redpolls tomorrow, Jacksparrow
