Nicki, great photos, you must have had hours of fun watching the swallow chicks grow. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks Selina - yes they're so sweet, one of my favourite species. As well as being beautiful, I think they are remarkable in that such a tiny little bird can fly all the way to Africa and back, and come back to the same nest each year... I get lost if I'm more than a mile from home I'm hoping to follow them through next year from starting to build the nest to fledging - watch this space!!

I promised Al some baby blue tit photos but had to ait til OH got the tripod out the loft, well he eventually got it down and we couldn't find the adaptor to clip the camera to the tripod to, went to al the local camera shops and couldn't get one to fit so I was really fed up. Then I went to a car boot sale this morning and got the next model tripod up from mine complete with the adaptor for £2 so now I can get it all set up and hope they are still around and want to have there pics taken.

This is the only half decent photo I've managed to get so far, will keep trying though.

Sadly this wasn't taken from my bedroom window, took it whilst I was on holiday and was happy with the way it came out so thought I'd share it. It could have been done with being a little lighter but might have a play with it later

Beautiful, Selina - and it reminds me I must post some more pics of the ducklings! They are huge now and almost fully fledged. You'll then be able to decisde what they most look like! It certainly isn't Kaki Campbells, like thier mothers.

Again, I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... as you know, we got this "Dickerfield" (the one Alison gave me those lovely plants for). There have been, since we got it last summer, quite a few birds there (I've ordered a book on birds to hopefully be able to tell which is which - in English.) I know we have a couple of types of tits (Blaumeise and Kohlmeise) and def. a robin - or several. Re the robin(s): We have no idea whether we have just one which is very "nosy" and follows us around or if they are all like that and we have several. Whereever we are on the field, there is usually a robin somewhere around us, not far, watching us and singing. What are the chances for it being only one or several?
I think we're going to have to re-name the field into "fat bird field" soon as they're going through the seeds and peanuts we put into the 3 feeders we have like there's no tomorrow! They're all empty in the space of 48 hours! OH will now try to get some more feeders...
Oh - and another question (this time from OH): do you know of a good website on how to encourage owls to come along? Maybe special nest boxes or something? The place is absolutely HEAVING with mice and voles "and stuff" so I think it would be quite a good place for the odd owl.
