Rook near the bird table – a short video

Posted on January 30th, 2009 in All My Videos by Trish

I took this video a while ago.  I was having a problem with rooks and crows taking all the bird food.  This rook was just waiting near the bird table.

I had to change the way I put food out and the rooks don’t come so close now.

Bird Watching – a lovely description

Posted on January 30th, 2009 in Watching Birds by Trish

This was sent to me in November, but am putting it on now.

 

I noticed that the number of squabbling starlings has increased here over the past couple of days.

This early evening I watched as a coal tit kept trying to grab a sunflower seed from the bird table.

The bird table was occuped by a robin which kept chasing the tit away, but it did not stop the coal tit from trying  until it had got its sunflower seed.  It just kept trying from different directions.

You think a robin is a small bird until you see a tiny coal tit next to one,  but this coal tit was not going to be bullied out of its supper.  I could have cheered out loud when it succeeded.  John.
