Spa Fields - Refilled bird feeder - keeping records

I filled the bird feeder again yesterday. This is a way for me to keep a log. Sorry for the repetitive posts but it is really good to see the feed being consumed so fast.

Back garden No. 18-21 - baby woodpecker

This is a report from 28th May 'On looking out of my kitchen window at about 17.30 this afternoon because of assorted squawkings, I discovered a baby woodpecker being fed by its mother. It was clinging to corner bricks of the stairwell, just level with my window, so I could see quite clearly.'

Back garden No. 7 - six great tits feeding

There were six great tits including juveniles feeding at the coconut bird cake and feeder this morning.
