Battle of the birds

I’ve been learning tons guys! I felt incredibly smug the other day, as I walked through my local park and saw two redwings, a couple of pied wagtails and a chaffinch :)

And all this just a few feet away from my University campus, so very exciting. Also, after moving our peanut feeder to the front of the house it’s become a constant site of battles between the local blue tits. At one point today I even saw 3 blue tits fighting over it. In a way it’s sad to see, especially as there’s space for all 3 to feed simaltaneously, but I’m hoping as the novelty of it wears off they’ll begin to share.

Anyway, it provides a very tempting distraction from my coursework. Spring is starting to show a few signs of coming, there’s a few buds on the tree in our front yard, and a pair of crows nearby repairing their nest.

I’m hoping to get the chance to do some volunteering next week, visit one or two urban beauty spots in London this weekend, and I’m still planning my trip to Scotland this summer, so tons to look foward to. What is everyone else most looking forward to most about spring? For me it’s got to be the bluebell woods near my home in Kent.
