It could be Nuthatches, not really sure what they look like, will have to do a search. There are often birds that I don't know hanging around in the trees, I'm sure I have a nightingale each year now. I saw it last year on the roof of the house, on the ridge, singing away but mostly it's difficult to see them in trees!

I am so pleased to see these chaffinches coming regularly, it pays off to keep a garden organic. Weedkillers can't do the wildlife any good.

philomel you should have your camera strapped to yourself just in case you see that golden oriole, it sounds like you have quite a bit happening there!

Pat I heard the first cuckoo on the 19th, last year they were 3 weeks early. Strange seeing it was so cold, it has always been on May 1st or the evening before.

Our pair of mallards had been on the grass at the front a couple of days not long ago, I have seen the 3 of them flying over. They were in front of the neighbours, I snuck behind my shrubs to get a pic but the camera has focussed on the the shrubs instead
