Jackdaw I think I mentioned before that we have a lot of Corvids around us and the Jackdaws are probably the most vocal and possibly the cheekiest? Jackdaws drop in several times a day, opportunists, … More Our Garden Visitors (J-M)
G! There are quite a few of these so, G has its own page! The first one on the RSPB alphabetical pages is the Goldfinch, possibly our brightest, most colourful garden bird and, a beautiful singer, if you ever hear them, you’ll know what I mean.

I took a trip on my m’bike, from Lee-on-the-Solent and what a trip that was, loved it. Anyway, Ardersier is a coastal village not far from Inverness with a shoreline walk of … More Ardersier in February
