 1) Female Blackbird

 2) Bluetit

 3) Male Blackbird

Ummmm... if you mean Garden EFFT....... then Robin, Thrush, Wood Pigeon

Meadow Pipit and Great Crested Grebe.

we have blackbirds nesting in a rose bush again this year

I don't get any as I haven't got a garden as such, but I'll keep a look out

I put food out twice a day for the birds so we have regulars - there are always wood pigeons around - I've seen up to 6 at one time

We have collared doves, chaffinches, house sparrows, blue tits, loads of baby starlings at the moment and a wee robin that visits every winter 

It's a shame the birds are dissappearing  

robin, sparrows and crows today

big fat wood pigeons, collard doves, robins, blue tits, blackbirds, thrush and loads and loads of magpies 

I can hear wood pigeons out the back somewhere at times but can't see them. And there's a lot of magpies flying around the metro station in the mornings

I love watching them take off Pengy - they almost look too fat to fly.

01/01/11 through to present day - Magpies 

*nom nom nom*

Yes I have!  

*disclaimer* sorry vegetarians

I know! they're noisy blighters!

I put seed, nuts etc out every day.

Bluetits, great tits, sparrows, chaffinches, blackbirds, coal tits, greenfinches and a robin come to my garden most days.

I do get a few collared doves but I chase them away.

 I love the way they waddle round the garden oblivious to everything    

@ Cinds - there will be no eating of the pigeons at my gaff 

Evening Yogi - aww why do you chase them away?

Yes, they are so funny - they have such wee heads too

They can be aggressive buggers though - I've seen them beaking some of the smaller birds

Don't laugh - I shake my floor mop at them.

Edit; Oooops, misread your post.

They eat too much food and tend to frighten the little birds away.

Also you tend to start off with a couple of them, then they spread the word and next thing you know, there's a dozen of them in your garden.

 - I'm surprised they even chance coming back

*makes note - Never go to Pengy for a BBQ *

the ones in my garden are quite docile - they sit on my trellis and I always worry it will break under the weight of them 

In fact they get picked on by the squirrels and magpies 

They do keep coming back. I call them Dopey Doos because they seem a bit thick, but they are very determined.

Noisy?  I am a 'you must salute a Magpie' kind of girl.  When we first moved in to this house (over 8 years ago) one of them sat for ages peaking in to our living room for hours, what was more scary is there was nothing but brick for it to be holding on to  I hate them.

I'v eonly seen them being aggressive if they are on the food tray and another wee bird tries to muscle in

I very rarely get magpies and I've never seen a squirrel in the garden but would love to.

 they do give that impression!

Cinds, I mentioned in another thread - think it was Sweets dove thread - that I saw a magpie killing a baby starling and it was horrific.

I knew they stole eggs but I didn't think they killed live birds until I read up on it.

I call our Squirrel Cyril - he comes in to nick the food off the bird table - he scampers down the arch to get to it and it's really funny and I swear he's sticking his fingers up at me as he runs off 

Maybe it's just a certain one I see then. It keeps flying round the church at the back of the metro station and opens it's gob a hell of a lot

I've not actually seen it but I've come home and found the remains plus lots of feathers of one or two birdies on my lawn 

They're 'Orrible!  Yes they are that BAD that I even dropped my Aitch 

Cyril

My mum-in-law gets squirrels in the garden all the time and they actually unscrew the bottom of the nut feeders she has hanging up - they are quick wee things too

Pengy 

I never want to witness that again - I'm hoping they dont appear this summer to get at the babies

he looks sad    What did you do to him your Dameship 

PMSL!

I was browsing before Pengy and he's fine it just been speeded up 

Aww that wee pengy does look sad - where's his pals

Cyril the Squirrel - love it!
