They usually hibernate so it was probably as confused as you were  :D

Saw two ospreys this afternoon but missed the evening flight  >:( ::)

Not seen our robins for a week or two. Plenty of blue tits at the bird feeding station and I always make sure the bird bath has water in it  when the weather is like this. Also keep bowls of water around the garden in case someone needs a drink. Today is HOT HOT HOT.

We have 4 different ones some high some low to try and cover all the wildlife, but the pigeon has decided the oval bowl one on the ground is his private bath and squeezes himself into it and naps whilst the sparrows get stroppy with him 😂 x

I have been puzzled for the last 3 months and have to admit I am no wildlife expert.
We have a large tree in the garden that seems to have attracted Magpies, for the last three months there has been a strange noise like a kitten meowing and at the same time there are Magpies flapping around in the tree.
When I first heard it I thought it was their young but after not hearing it these last couple of weeks it has started again, wouldn't they have all fledged weeks ago?

Could be a 2nd brood.  We had crows until early July, all gone now.  [Midlands].  Rooks, magpies, jackdaws ........ in fact not many birds at all, usually around this time they hide up to moult.  So I haven't bought meal worms this week as there's no one to eat them  :-\.  I need to refill the feeders B4 it gets hot in the morning, I'd do it now but I'm naked  :-\  :-X

Some birds have much longer breeding seasons, and some breed practically all year round, such as Collared Doves.
