Watch the birdie
Coloured birds are a novelty if you live in Orkney! We put an apple up in the kaki tree when all its own fruit had gone, hoping to attract the leiothrixes, however, they disappeared, and great tits, blue tits and a blackcap have been feasting on the apples. They scoff one in three to four days. Feel free to add your own cute captions!

The apple in the tree was a great idea. Strategically placed to aid photography I trust. You mentioned the black cap. What about the redstart is s/he still around?
ReplyDeleteI think we've only seen the redstart once since you were here. But more excitingly, we have identified a persistent "laughing jackass" type call as green woodpecker - they seem to be everywhere!
