9/10 - A Wet Day For Wild Birds & Their Fledglings Visiting A UK Cottage Garden 4KHD

I am guessing there will be less bird baths than there have been for the last few days but I will be uploading a video of some of the bird baths in the near future, for those of you that enjoy watching them too (I find them fun to watch). EDIT: I stand corrected, the starlings still had quite a few baths today, despite the rain! In today’s video, you will most likely see a range of birds visiting the feeders in the tree all day, particularly blue tits, great tits, coal tits, long tailed tits, woodpeckers, robins, goldfinches, greenfinches, starlings and jays. There are also a range of birds that visit and forage for food on the floor, this includes collared doves, wood pigeons, crows, jackdaws, dunnocks, wrens, songthrush, and the jays. In fact, there is seldom anytime when there are not birds visiting and if they do go (eg due to a scare from a neighbour or a bird of prey), they do not stay gone for long. Nature really is a blessing and if you can't get out into it at the moment, then I hope these videos help you to benefit from watching nature (as it has also been shown to have the health benefits of being in nature) until you can get back to being in nature again. I hope watching the many birds that visit each day brings you as much peace, tranquility and joy, as it does for me. ________________________________________________________ If you enjoy the channel and would like to contribute towards feeding the birds, you can do so via "Buy me a Coffee" here: https://buymeacoffee.com/growingisgreat.
