Nice out in nature!

Anyone used this bird call ID app? I was recommended it and installed it yesterday. It seems excellent. It's picked up a whole load of birds, a lot of which I didn't know we had around the garden. I set it recording this morning as I was hanging the washing out and it recognised 10 different species in 6 minutes.

Yes the Merlin app is really useful. I use it when I’m out and about.

Stunning.

Would you mind giving us a roll call please?

I know a few of the birds in those shots but there's lots that I don't.

Great. Thank you.

Two things. Robin? 

Found in a big sideways stack of plant pots in the potting shed. How long until they fledge? It'll be a busy shed soon enough. Might have to compartmentalise it a little to give them some privacy. 

 

Also, this chap has been trying to break into the house in any available high window from north west to south west. Very persistent. My guess is he had a nest here last year behind the cladding but before the window flashing went on, and now he's confused. 

 

 

Might put a bird box on the window and see what happens.

He thinks the candle he can see on the ledge is some full cream milk !
