And the annual 'how many rowan berries can a blackbird get in its beak at one time' competition has begun. Its a good crop this year & so far just 2 pairs of blackbirds have turned up to enjoy the feast.

No hedgehogs out & about yet in the Magic Garden to film but I've set the cameras up ready. The blackbirds are the main stars so far & have been enjoying splashing around & washing in the water bowls. This one seemed to be jumping in an awkward formal dance. #birdwatching #birds #wildlifegarden 🦉🪶

The goldfinches weren't nervous of me but were watching the male blackbird who has become a bit territorial about the bird feeders & the back fence. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlifegarden 🦉🪶
