As I was out filling the bird feeders early this morning, we had a visit from the kestrel pair. Both checking out the nesting site in the wall of the gite. We know they have nested there each year for more than 18 years. Who knows how many years the changing generations have used these nests.
There is a choice of 3 holes in the wall, and they sometimes change which one they use.
It gives us hope that spring is around the corner seeing these lovely birds.
We are being visited by hawfinches, nuthatches, blue tits, great tits, marsh tits, chaffinches, green finches, wood peckers,bramblings,goldfinches. They are the seed eaters.
We also have a visiting buzzard, blackbirds, robins, magpies and jays, the last two not to be encouraged.
Our three cats seem to just ignore the birds, just too well fed perhaps. They do however catch the odd mouse and rat.
Do you take pleasure in bird watching?
