Galle Birds: August 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Wednesday, August 02, 2006. A newcomer to the garden. Our garden is edged by several birch trees and in the last few days we have had a number of sightings of green woodpeckers, a bird I haven't seen in this area for years. The first sighting brought back memories of the time we came home to find our neighbour's trying to entice their pet parrot down out of our birch trees after it had escaped via the cat-flap!

Galle Birds: May 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Friday, May 26, 2006. The bird has flown. There has been no sign of the Collared Dove on her nest for a couple of days now and there is no sign of any eggs as far as I can tell. In fact I havn't seen any Collared Doves for some days, just Wood Pigeons and a Magpie, along with the the usual small garden birds. I will give it a few more days before I get the aerial man in to reset the satellite dish though! As long as I can watch Bill Oddie. Posted by Richard Galle at 4:01 PM.

Galle Birds: July 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Friday, July 28, 2006. The noisiest bird in the garden. Everything in the garden grew well while we were away so there is a fair amount of trimming and tidying to be done. Collins Field Guide says this: "Astonishingly powerful song (almost all year) long, breathless stream of strident but not unmusical notes and trills. Call loud, stony. He might be the noisiest bird in the garden but we love to know he is still around. Posted by Richard Galle at 9:10 AM. We spent quite a lo...

Galle Birds: June 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Monday, June 05, 2006. The Collared Doves have definitely abandoned the nest which is now falling apart. I have only had one sighting in the last week, so they have either moved to another area or fallen fowl of predators. Posted by Richard Galle at 1:48 PM. Stourport-on-Severn, United Kingdom.

Galle Birds: June 2007
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Saturday, June 30, 2007. It’s a grey and wet Saturday morning and I have just sat down at my desk. Outside my study window there is a mature rowan tree with developing berries. A movement in the tree caught my eye and I stopped to look. Once I concentrated I could make out many birds moving around in the canopy of leaves. Posted by Richard Galle at 10:10 AM. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. We only work on the mill on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They were still feeding on the 7th J...

Galle Birds: March 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Thursday, March 30, 2006. I am retiring on 6th April and I have lined up many things to do with my time as you can see on my clockmaking blog. One activity I omitted from that blog was to watch as Spring spreads across our neighbourhood. Having time to walk in the woods, watching and listening. Spring is always a great time to visit WWT Slimbridge. Posted by Richard Galle at 9:46 PM. Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Where do crows come from? What is crows favourite game? I'm no or...

Galle Birds: April 2006
http://gallebirds.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Richard Galle's birding blog. Saturday, April 29, 2006. The local birds are full of the joys of spring and the noisiest has been a wood-pigeon. His call was almost constant yesterday and he woke me up this morning, seeming to be very close. The reason he sounded so close, and why we have been having trouble with our satellite signal became obvious when we noticed that there was a pair of wood-pigeons perched on the mounting of the satellite dish, right outside the bedroom window!
