What birds have you ‘spotted’ on a sit?
Peacock in the back garden of this sit, Jersey in the Channel Islands letting the neighbourhood know that’s its bedtime!
As you can probably tell from my name I am a keen birder.
We had a sit with doves and another one that adjoined an area owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust where they had a Barn Owl project and we saw them flying around during the day and landing on the garden fence posts. Such a treat.
I love a Peacock but they are noisy critters ![]()
13 White storks over the house where we did a sit last week. In Sussex UK.
In my own front yard and big oak tree I have had these visitors, Northern Cardinal, Sandhills Crane, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, White Ibis, Owl. The neighborhood has lots of of lakes and lizards to make them happy.
I need a very jealous emoji. I haven’t even heard of some of those birds.
I did see white tailed sea eagles on a recent holiday to the Isle of Skye, which was amazing. My photos weren’t great as they were taken from a boat that refused to stop bobbing about - and they are very fast birds. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it.
I can also recommend the Merlin app for recognising bird calls in the area.
I’d heard storks were reappearing.

Climate change and loss of habitat is definitely having an effect (affect)
on wildlife. I remember seeing these birds in Tenerife - never expected to see them in Yorkshire UK.
A pheasant in a garden in Oldfeld, near Haworth, W. Yorkshire 2 years ago. Don’t have a photo though.
After a brutal wake-up call from a Gambian pied crow, these lovebirds do their best to lift my mood by beautifully serenading me every morning. I am not sure what they are, but a quick search suggests they are most probably either common bulbuls or black-crowned night herons, or perhaps something entirely different.
