I have just come back from a few days at my Grandma's house in North Wales and 2 lovely, bright Green Finches were in the garden to welcome me home.
Unfortunately the tree the birds love has died, but I hope the neighbours don't chop it down because the birds love it up there.
A rather scruffy Collared Dove called in too.
And of course my faithful friends the House Sparrows
Whilst I was at my Grandma's I saw some extraordinary birds from high sky divers to low hunting drifters.
I saw an Osprey which was probably migrating, it even put on a display of diving and yes it had caught a trout or something like that. Then 15 minutes after, a female Hen Harrier showed up (loved it's white rump) and probably the last I will see this year, a migrating Redstart.
Thank you for a lovely time Grandma and Grandpa.
I've never seen a Green Finch before.....we have the Goldfinch and House Finches here. Beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteVery pleased to hear that you were treated with some great bird encounters while in North Wales where I live Findlay, I've still not had a green finch in my new garden, they're one of my favourites - lots of sparrows and starlings though!
