Sworn to secrecy I'm afraid, they're definitely not government issued that's for sure. Or perhaps they are.......

Well, of all things I had a grey heron fly over the top of my house last night and it rested on my neighbours roof but the blighter flew away before I could grab my camera!

Herons are quite common around here. Perhaps it because I have a pond! :lol:

I can hear an owl hooting now, lovely to keep the window open on a summers night and listening to the wildlife. :)

Snap we've got one here too, it seems to be local and we hear it most nights, we get some strange noises here at night I think some of them might be foxes.

It's like a bird sanctuary in our garden at the moment. Got 6 woodpigeons, a pair of robins, blue tits, a pair of collared doves, several blackbirds, the odd wren, some magpies and we have now got great tits visiting the pond for a drink! Probably the best though are the jays, don't see them very often though, only appear when we put nuts out instead of seed but there are several in the trees round the back.

Joy, the blackcaps are back! I'd never hoped to see them in the depths of London until it was too obvious to ignore last year, and now, despite the evil giant building site and the chill of March, they're again pottering about with bits of potential nestbuilding materials.

I was working in a neraby village this morning and was pleasantly surprised to hear baby birds calling (well screaming really :) ) for the parent birds. I'm not sure which species they were, but would guess at a type of tit. Then later on I saw a broken bird egg shell on a footpath.

The Swallows are back around these parts, saw them in Hestercombe at the weekend and at home today; is this early, late or about on time?

Summer's on the way, hooray!!

Me and the Mrs took the mini A-M's to Fountains Abbey on Tuesday and were pleased to see swallows darting around over the water. I haven't seen any up near us yet.

Oh, and also saw a great spotted woodpecker.
