    Default Hello from Southcote in Reading

    Very much urban, my bird watching is limited at the present ( too little time and no transport!!). I support a large number of that exotic bird, the sparrow in my garden. When I had my roof done they couldn't understand why I didn't want them to completely seal it so the birds couldn't nest - and at 4 on a summers morning I ask the same question! I get to see the normal type of urban garden bird, nothing greatly exotic I'm afraid, although there was the silhouette of a heron on roof a while ago.

    Welcome to the forum ladylouise62, nice swan photo.

    The forum is aimed at people like yourself, people who simply enjoy the birds in their garden, just as much as the those who take a much more active part in bird watching, all input is appreciated.

    PS. Congratulations on being one of our founder members.

    Hi ladylouise62
    I had to replace the tiles on my porch roof just below my bedroom a couple of months ago, and inside were masses of nesting materials used by many generations of house sparrows, including a skeleton of a long - dead baby sparrow.

    After clearing out the mess (one garden waste bag full) I have sealed any openings - they will manage to get in the tiniest of holes - and look forward to quieter early mornings from now on
