I put a couple of feeders in my garden and regularly get sparrows, blue tits, great tits, robins and the odd goldfinch, coal tit and wren. Wood pigeons clean up the mess under the feeders. We also get noisy magpies and parakeets. On rare occasions I've had a woodpecker, nuthatch and jay visit. I also see a sparrowhawk perched in a neighbour's silver birch from time to time. We used to get blackbirds, but unfortunately I think neighbourhood cats were the death of them Hope this helps.

Not if you're a republican

I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday. Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.

I nearly stood on this beauty in my garden today

Oh, so that was the council. Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter. I assumed that a child had done it. How strange?

For balance, I've had construction noise 5 days a week for the last 3 years as loft and side constructions are undertaken one by one, with added joy of being overlooked in the garden, so a few days noise shouldn't be too onerous. I do know that Gala had a team of litter pickers working non-stop the whole time I was there, so efforts are made to keep the park litter free.

Definitely a couple of swifts flying high above Fellbrigg Road occasionally this morning.

MaBaker, I've never had a reply from them, but when I reported the missing collection again on their form I got a message on their website saying that the request had already been fulfilled. Hope this helps?

My brown bin finally got emptied this morning.

I was compelled to take a picture when passing this week.

Something's clearly awry. I've had to follow up a missed collection report for the second week running after receiving the following message despite the bin still being full. Guess we just keep filling out the form.

Same here.
