In this section I will be adding wildlife camera pictures and logging all wildlife sightings for this Winter 24/25
The homemade bird table (below) has been replaced and new pole type fitted. I have monitored to ensure no rodent is able to access the bird food. Long tailed tits are joined by a Robin Great Tit two Long Tailed Tits that have moved into the orchard. There is a small flock of about eight Long Tailed Tits which are fascinating highly vocal and excitable birds. I haven't yet located their nests but hope to add photos and information as they continue to flourish.
A variety of nutrition attracts diversity of species. The downside is the potential to spread disease. The feeders are washed and cleaned every 10 to 14 days and the contents changed.
