They are always bright and cheerful and very interested in what your doing in the garden -
This year it has to be a pair of Bullfinches. The male is such a vivid pink, at first sight I thought it was some escaped tropical bird. They take it in turns to land on the feeders while the other one keeps watch. But they're seen so rarely now that they've made us feel very special, so for that they get my vote this year!Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!Comment

Have to say I have different birds for different things!
Long tailed tits...... just perfect any time
Robin - that dreamy autumn twittering--doing it now, seems early this year
Thrush - beautiful evening song
Pheasant- that cranky autumn daytime call
Skylark- summers on its way call
switfs- that high pitched twittering on a hot hot summers day
OWLS- fantastic sound at night when all is still and oh so dark!
Wren- can you believe all that noise from one so small
pewits, curlews - on a bleak foggy winters day.....haunting- heavenly
woodpeckers- they sound like they are laughing, hard not to smile
All birds are great!Comment

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Has to be the robin for me, although I haven't seen much of them since the babies left the nest. Mind you the young sparrows have been very entertaining for the last few weeks waiting to have a go for nuts at the feeders.

Oh Headfry! You and me both - I love Long Tailed Tits! They are top of my list. I get so excited when our little flock decend on our garden.
My OH never saw a bird in the garden til I moved in and started feeding them, now our blackbird Tallulah deposits her newly fledged babies all over the garden on a regular basis (she's very prolific), Fred the robin gets very excited when he sees the mealworm bag coming and Jenny the Wrenny is just the cutest (and noisiest) thing ever!Comment

My favorite is the Dunnock a small drab bird with the song of a Angel and a ground feeder helps clear up after the messy feeders .
I also have a Robin that comes in the kitchen every morning to scrounge a bit of grated cheese .
But all birds are great all worth feeding

I love wagtails.. something to do with those wagging tails ?
My local garden center has a tame (ish) robin that hangs out in the aquatics department. He has very few friends as the staff are w*nk*rs and the prices are daft !Comment

Mine is a song thrush, known as a mavis in scotland, such a gorgeous song.

I too have seasonal favourites,being coastal and near to a huge tidal basin(Montrose)we do get unusual "flyusoverus" rather than landers.Now I'm waiting for the Swifts to leave and the first wild geese and swans to arrive.Buzzards are a popular visitor at the moment as they scare the rabbits away.Comment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
