Join the world's largest garden wildlife survey.

The new year has quite literally stormed in with lashing rain and winds. Storm Isha and Jocelyn caused havoc  within 2 weeks of each other in January. There have been ten named storms since last September so nature needs a helping hand. Anyone whose seen my posts across the web and social media will know I'm an avid birdwatcher out and about North Devon and Exmoor but also love taking photos of the coming and goings in my garden.


I can now list the Goldfinches as regular visitors on the feeder along with Sparrows, Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Blue Tits, Doves, Dunnock, Great Tits, Blackbirds, Robin, Wood Pigeons and a very camera-shy Wren. At this time of year we also have daily ravenous marauders, the Starlings. Depen ding on the time of year we also have fleeting visits from a Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Jay, a male Bull Finch and a pair of Siskins. Its great to know that my messy garden is home to them during the nesting season. You can see a variety of photos of fledglings on my flickr. 


 regularly submit my results the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch each year which this year is from 26-28th January so here is an opportunity to help the RSPB understand how the birds are doing.


"Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park...You can sign up for your free guide and let's look out for birds together on 26-28 January." Find out more at (rspb.org.uk)
