The Kestrels nesting in Salehurst church appear to be having another successful year, with at least 3 youngsters about a week or so away from fledging.
Before and after! 7 pallets delivered today, pretty much everything now back in stock!
As you can see a tad windy in the garden.
The Mistle thrush still managed to get some tasty berries for breakfast.
Due to better than expected sales this week, regrettably we have sold out of 12.75kg sunflower hearts and 12.75kg selected wild bird food. Still some stock of other sacks and small bags, so best to call if you were planning to visit tomorrow. Big deliveries due in this coming Wednesday.
Warning! Cuteness overload!
You may find this interesting... I did 🤔
This is a graph of followers of Feathers Wild Bird Care showing age and s*x.
The purple is male, the green female, the number at the bottom is age. Also very interesting is both Joe and I like mashed potato. 😳
Today 14 years ago...
The opening of that unbelievable, fantastic, hugely successful..........................................FEATHERS place..........................................
Thank you all from me and the Joe bloke. 🥰
Have you ever seen a *HAPPY* Jackdaw?
Some nice stuff in the garden over the last few days.😊
Why not combine a visit to Feathers with a walk around Salehurst? Lots of nice views and birds down by the river rother after work yesterday.
Little stuff in the garden. 😍
Lots in the garden over the last few days. 🥰
Nice to see the Jay, then four finches, three t**s, robin and blackbird.
Lastly five shots of me being given *The Eye* 😳
If you are ever in need of some new binoculars then without doubt Feathers is the place to go. Lots of different models and prices to choose from with expert, unbiased advice from Joe. there is very little he doesn't know about optics.............
Well there may be just one little thing. 😬
The bloke on the left in our header (above) is the same bloke on the left here the day we opened Feathers.
He has filled out nicely and got rid of the spots.
Now tomorrow is his 34th birthday, it is down to me to start the ball rolling by wishing him a very happy day. 🥂
As a special gift I have thoughtfully enrolled him in seven dating agencies, now he may not appreciate that so as a *back-up* I have cleverly posted this by mistake🤭 I am however almost sure he will be thrilled by your comments.
So....fill yer boots. 🥰
Siskins and goldfinches having a sort out on the sunflower heart feeders at home.
last two pictures...male siskin on the squirrel proof feeder at Feathers yesterday and one on my squirrel proof feeder in the garden this morning. ☺️
Quiet on the feeders and quiet in the shop this morning, so I took a little wander to the church to get a closer shot of the Kestrel(s). They have nested in the church every year almost as long as we've been here. Luckily we have a clear view of the church tower from outside the shop.
There seems to be a lot of siskins about, they go for sunflower hearts mainly as do many other garden visitors. 🙂
Sunflower hearts..... RSPB - 12.75kg ~ £38 = about £3 per kilo
Sunflower hearts...Feathers 12.75 ~£19.99 = about £1.57 kilo
Sunflower hearts......Feathers 20kg ~ £27.99 = about £1.40 kilo
There is an extinct bird in one of these pictures 😳 can you find it?
If you can...just post "Yes Allan" 😁
Joe's talk on The Gambia birds went very well last night, 🤗
We learnt a bit, chatted a bit, ate a bit and laughed a lot - my sort of evening
It was lovely to meet everyone, reminded me of the *Good old days* when we had our talks on a more regular basis, keep your eyes peeled as I think more will be on the way. ☺️
As you can see Joe dressed up for the occasion by putting on his new camouflage attire.
Big thanks to all who attended, I was so glad I went. 🥰

I'm not sure how long it will last... but the sun is out this morning so make the most of it! The wildlife certainly is: lots of singing Robins and Dunnocks, while the local Buzzards and squirrels are collecting nesting material.

As you can see a tad windy in the garden. The Mistle thrush still managed to get some tasty berries for breakfast.
A Willow warbler in my garden doing it's stuff after a refreshing shower.
This lovely little Tree creeper was in the garden early this morning, it's been nine long years since the last one. 😍
A short movie to show you how much the willow warblers/chiffchaffs enjoy a bath. The noise in the background is work being done in the field behind the house...🤫
Here is a siskin taking a bath in slow motion. 😊
A pair of bullfinches on the black sunflowers. All the finches can be a bit messy when feeding, they do stay on the feeders thus enabling you to give them a *Good looking at* 😍
It's easy to get distracted when you are sitting in the snug trying to write the newsletter when the feeders are so busy. 😁
R. U. Sure? Those were the days...... 🥰
Finches can be a bit messy when eating even the sunflower hearts, this bullfinch is on the black sunflowers and like the goldfinches and siskins he does seem to drop/discard a fair amount, I did have words with him ..... he just said he was thinking of the ground feeders and they can get some *easy-ready* food thanks to him..
Another very happy day with Joe at Feathers yesterday 🥰 Met lots of customers / friends, had lots of chat and lots of laughter. 😀 My Saturdays at the shop do me a power of good, the Joe bloke keeps an eye on me when I'm at the till, I'm still making the odd cock-up but I never did have the knack of it even after three years trying to work it out. 😜 Anyway..... here is a distant shots of the Grey wagtail on the barn roof and a movie of one in my pond from last year..
Those were the days 🥴 Back to bird posts soon 😏
Busy pond... 🥰
A robin bathing in slow-mo.
A QUIET starling..😁
My garden Robin taking a few breaths before having a dunk, they need to keep their eyes peeled for predators as the are very vulnerable at this time..😍
What we got here then? 🤔
A couple of movies from my garden this morning. What do we see? 🤔
It's always a bit disturbing when birds fight in the garden..
