We get Jays, patsy. They seem to love peanuts. Magpies also come to the bird feeders. I'm not going to agree with all they do as I think it was one of them that took blackbird chicks this year. No cat would have got there from above leaving the nest undisturbed...

Thee days I think it is often a case of let nature be for reasons at times I do not understand but enjoy what you see or hear. There is a treecreeper around again and I think a little woodpecker. For hearing, play games with a tawny owl - you can whooo whoo back and forth and they can come close.
