"Ain't it thrilling when you see a species that might be very common, but doesn't tend to inhabit your local area ? In my case, goldcrests on Good Friday. CUTE !  "
Lovely a few years ago, I was visited by three waxwings ?? |

"crows and magpies were scarce round here a decade ago, they’re everywhere now."
We get quite a lot of magpies too.
Destructive little blighters though, they do favour my vegetable beds  |

We have numerous wild birds in our garden. They seem to empty the feeders on an almost daily basis!
My favourite is a green woodpecker, which I have only seen a few times. Once on the peanut feeder in the early hours of the morning |

"A murmuration of hundreds of starlings at sunset as they come in to roost is an awesome spectacle out here on The Levels. Have you ever witnessed it? "
Not to mention Great White Egrets. |

For a Inland county earlier this year one lucky observer saw Great White Egret, Cattle egret, and little egret, together |

Never see a bird in my back garden - had a feeder up over a year and it's still full!
But I was out in the Peak District at the weekend - lots of red grouse (including one that didn't want to let me past on the path!) and lapwings and a pair of ring ouzels |

"Often see Nightjars on the lane below the house. 
Driving along a country lane at dusk a barn owl flew straight across the road in front of my truck.Always a nice bird to see is the barn owl, Its all about being in the right place at the right time to see birds, I,m usually in the wrong place at the right time but being outdoors there is always usually something to see of Interest.. "
That's one of the reasons i love being outdoors so much. |

A good location for diversity is the peak spent many happy hours in the white peak luckily we have such places left to see still. |
