I saw a Kingfisher in Kelsey Park which is not far, and have heard as mentioned above them being sighted in the River Pool.

In our Garden we regularly get Greater Spotted Woodpecker to the peanut feeder, have seen a green woodpecker once in the 9 years we have been here, Nuthatches, Blue and Great tits daily as well as robins, blackbirds, wood pigeons, pigeons, magpies, parakeets, jays less frequently, and I have seen some long tailed tits this year, and wrens in the past as well as bullfinches and greenfinches (not recently) but we have goldfinches at present eating the niger seeds.

edit ** I should add it took a while before the birds started coming to the garden, so don't be disheartened if you put feeders out and get nothing at the start.

I personally love the nuthatches.

Does anyone know in summer if it is swifts or swallows we have in the skies above?

We also have a fox den in the garden, though that does not seem to disturb the cats or squirrels.....
