Our bird watchers Jean and David saw this year's first male and female blackcap by the canoe club.

Keith Dodd reports: "I've had a male and then a female on our bird feeder, but separately in the last 2 weeks". He took these lovely photos through the conservatory window.

There is an interesting and helpful website which you may care to visit: 

   

British Garden Birds is dedicated to helping garden birdwatchers to identify and enjoy the birds that visit their gardens, and to understand the birds' lives and behaviour.

Feel free to report your garden sightings. Be a bird watcher in your own garden and take photographs. If we can, we will publish them here with your name if you agree.
