Re: In my Garden 2025
Get you, with ya fancy flight shots, and sunshiny ducks!! I think Magpies might be my favourite birds in flight, and if you can be behind them as they come in to land, the tail is a superb sight! And obvs not forgetting Walter, out in the open! Marvellous stuff

Re: In my Garden 2025
Time for a wee update. garden is still like marsh land but the birds are still visiting, even the songthrush and a couple of redwing yesterday. There is a big attraction in town at the moment but I have yet to catch up with it yet due to its very inconvenient location. Just past the Hamilton services on the M74 we have a visiting Crane and I am not as crazy as others to stand on hard shoulder of a flaming motorway for any bird! There is access via Strathclyde Park through a muddy path under the motorway but its in an area covered in long hay type grass, I have been down that way once so far but never seen it .
On the other hand I did catch up with a newbie today on the old Ravenscraig site not to far from me. One of 13 skylark woohoo. It has been on my to see list for quite a while so delighted to get a head up they were there today
