That's a nice selection. We put some seed out for the birds and mostly get tits or sparrows. I have logged a fair few species in the garden including woodpeckers and sparrowhawks. I'm looking to make the place more wildlife friendly as I know some are struggling. We don't see the numbers we had even just a few years ago.

Thanks :) yeah these are the consistent regulars, the pigeon you see there actually has a brand new next outside our kitchen window with a big white egg. We get a great view! More coming soon on that!
That’s great you’re into birds, I really got stuck in during the lockdowns.
That’s great you got a sparrow hawk! Wow, set up some cameras and leave them, see what you get.
Yeah it’s all about the insect and plant count. Do a rough count of different species of plants in your garden, jam pack your garden with flowers and put damp/old logs etc, places for insects to hide, and put plenty nuts out. done birds can smell nuts from over a mile away!
We've twice had a sparrowhawk take out a collared dove. Just part of nature. Also had foxes, hedgehogs and squirrels around. A camera would be cool, but it's a big garden, so hard to cover it all.
That’s amazing man. Good sightings!
You can set up food camera traps to capture exactly what you want to attract to a specific area of your garden ;)
