A few months ago, one of our customers was super excited to have spotted a Wood Warbler. They are around 15 miles from where we live so we have been keeping a watchful eye!

I can now say, after many hours of checking what I was seeing to confirm we have now got a Wood Warbler visiting us.

These birds, are smaller and finer looking than the size of a Siskin. In our opinion they look a very light grey with a rather pointy beak.

It was rather hard trying to identify them as they look very much like a ChiffChaff - but with lighter legs.

It's incredible the different species we are now attracting by providing a high quality toxin free bird feed.

Super pleased to report this morning we spotted 2 male & 1 female bullfinch.

I'm not sure where they go each year or why they seem to reappear. But what I can say is I'm super excited to see them back.

These birds have always been a favourite of ours and its been sad to see a decline in numbers over the years. They where common when we where young but this is no longer the case.

We spot these birds every year from May through to July but will monitor this more regularly to keep you up dated.

So Granny G was enjoying watching our bird feeder in Clachaig when she got very excited as had spotted a new species on the feeder. She tried to get me to come and look however, I was beavering away in the garden & to be honest, I thought she was seeing things as I had not seen any new species recently.

When she explained what she had seen, I was like yep, trip to spec savers is needed. 🔎

Wee bird with red/pink on its head 🙄 She attempted to get a picture of it on her phone but the image was too blurry.

When I did come to look, this 'new' species was no where to be seen! So I didn't believe her.

A few hours later I had to eat my words and apologise as YES, we have got another NEW SPECIES!
