Me in a hide. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk, UK

As a keen amateur twitcher, recently moved to a new suburban home, I intend to share with you my experience of attracting wild birds to my garden with the ultimate goal of catching on camera birds nesting using a bird box camera. I will discuss which garden bird tables are best for feeding wild birds, how to choose the best squirrel proof feeders, what to consider when investing in a bird box camera and where to site a bird box. I may even venture into making wooden birdhouses.

I will be pretty much starting from scratch, although having said that the garden is somewhat over grown and I have already sighted a couple of goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis) enjoying eating the seeds from the tall dried grasses. Over the way, I can see bird tables in other gardens too, so there is hope.

I hope you enjoy reading my posts. If you too are on a similar quest, please do let me know.
