This certainly ranks as one of the most unusual garden sightings this year! These migratory birds are normally found in fields and grassland. Is it using garden food to refuel after travelling across continents?

First day since 30 January without Siskins around the garden, they may have moved on with the S wind. Usually have a pair stay to breed so we shall see. Its quiet without their chattering in the trees! @BTO_GBW #birdwatching #birds

Anting, the act of using insects to clean, is performed by a wide range of bird species. These Great Tits can be seen rubbing the ants into their feathers, but other species will instead sit atop an ant nest and let them run through the feathers!

Today's Monday Mammal is the pygmy shrew! Widespread throughout mainland Britain and Ireland, and found on the Isle of Man and Outer Hebrides, where common shrews are absent. Pygmy shrews utilise tunnels in vegetation and seem to be more common on moorland than common shrews.
Exciting. Spotted a house sparrow with nesting material in its beak in the garden Noted on our @BTO_GBW sheet 😊
Watching birds in the garden is very relaxing. But it is always fascinating to hear and then see summer visitors. So it was, seeing a chiff chaff this morning, thanks to @BTO_GBW.

@BTO_GBW Once the weather warms it's common for birds to do this in my garden which is very sandy soil so I get a fair few ants nests. They often lay down with wings spread.
While most people seem to get blue tits or other passerines on their Bird table I seem to attract mandarins!! Happy Easter everyone @GlobalBirdfair @global_birding @Natures_Voice @WetlandsInt @WwtClara @BTO_GBW @wwf_uk @britishbirds @Britnatureguide @WildlifeMag @StephenMoss_TV

Wild Boar from recent trips to the Forest of Dean, it truly is exciting to spend time close to a species you don't see often and one that has a real element of mystique about it, a bit like going back in time to what our woodlands used to be like
