[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 8057030, member: 2303"] I've had a large number of ladybirds overwintering on my landing , bunched up in the corners of the windows . I've had this overwintering thing for a time now , but possibly more this winter , and always in the same place (Kidds !) With the onset of warmer weather of late , I left a couple of windows open , and I notice tonight that most have gone . I very often have had red admiral butterflies overwinter and the odd bumble bee too in my office window , but for some reason , none this year . We have a few wrens , a few goldfinches , a few robins , and a couple of resident blackbird pairs . . Don't suppose they're the same ones every year , but they act very territorially . The cock bird stretches out his neck and really harasses anything with the temerity to invade his territory . We don't have a lot of either sparrows or starlings , just enough to be comfortable , but what we do have is an absolute swarm of jackdaws - pest numbers . We have a comfortable number of pheasants , wood pigeons , and grey doves , but very few magpies , and we used to be over-run with those . All in all , just about right -- but no swallows so far !
