I spotted the peacock on a wall as I was drove through Holymoorside this morning, got talking to the owner who says she used to have 2 but one got run over.
Below are a family of tits. I get a pair every year, who lay and raise their eggs, then disappear again 'till next spring.
We only get small birds ironically, because we have chickens.
We used to get loads of cats from the neighbours, and magpies, etc. Since getting the chics, the cats and larger birds see them as too much hassle, not something they are scared of exactly, but a reason to go somewhere else. So now all the smaller birds come into our garden and benefit from the chics food and water.
But the chics make a mess of the garden, so bear that in mind, its not the answer to everything.....just lots of free eggs too.
