I live on the edge of a wood and very rarely see bull finches, not many about these days. I was watching a nuthatch on my birdfeeder one day when a sparrow hawk flashed past and grabed it, couldnt have grabed a blue tit or somthing abit more common :cray: , buster.

A man is hauled up before a court for the crime of killing a protected bird. “Why did you eat the Golden Oriole?” asked the judge. “Well, its like this,” said the bedraggled looking defendant, “I lost my job six months ago, my wife ran off with another man and my children have disowned me. I’ve been too depressed to work, so when I saw this bird I just acted on impulse. I didn’t know it was a rare bird!” “Well,” said the judge, “I’ll take pity on you and spare you this time if you will tell me just one thing: what did it taste like?” “Actually”, replied the man, “it tasted just like a Dartford Warbler.”

Goldys love Niger seed . . . That should be Pronounced NI ~ GURE SEED . . Lol .

It's proper name is "Nigger seed" but in these pc days they changed it to niger and it's even sold in some places as nyger seed.

Fecking trouble causing black stuff :whistling: .
