Just joined RSBP since moving from my 2 bedroom flat, after getting married to Paul, into a 3 bedroom bungalow on the outskirts of town, garden backing onto a deep glen with lots of trees and wildlife, birds, squirrels and lofty pines. So we set up a whiryline and hung the bird feeders on it (We had nowhere in the flat to see/feed birds, though Paul was living in Hampshire and was well into feeding birds. I even saw a woodpecker outside his bedroom window)

So now we have lots of blue tits, coal tits, robins, blackbirds, jays, finches, magpies, pigeons, sparrows and at least 2 grey squirrels! We can watch them from our bedroom window, and I can see this occupying a lot of our time during retirement!

Hi morninglark

Welcome to the forum from me too.

Watching the birds can get very addictive when you are retired as I know only too well. Look forward to hearing more from you.

I do have a camera, though not really very good, but maybe with Paul's we will get some decent shots1

Hello and a warm welcome. You get a lovely selection of birds and as has been said, we all love photos on here. I have two grey squirrels visiting as well.

I hope you enjoy the forum.
