On the squirrel feeder I have which is just peanuts where I shoot them ,nuthatches are there nearly every minute .They must store nuts in crevices I reckon as no way can they eat them as quick as they take them .Fiery little feckers won’t tolerate another same time .Great spotted woodpeckers too . Its sad that some supposed countrymen havnt a clue as to bird names ,not a scooby .I always talk about bird life when out with clients stalking and some just seem oblivious to them . You got any space for stalking at the minute. I'd love to stalk a munty buck 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bagged a fox that’s been digging under a shed .Hasn’t got in but only matter of time .Barren vixen thankfully . Heard what I think is a short eared owl but have to research that .Long plaintive call of a bird in flight .Plenty of barn owls about on that perm too .Saw a pair just on dark and 3 quartering together after dark .Too early for fledged chicks so maybe a 3 some going on Link to post Share on other sites
