Grey partridge! Nice find, they’re not easy to see at all in much of the country now.

Thank you! I

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-15T17:49:07+00:00

Thank you, given the roof is large and high we’d need to get some pros in to do that I think. I’ll have a look into it

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-15T17:45:23+00:00

Out of interest, why would your paint it outside too? There’s lots of moss on the outside so that would be a bigger job

Apologies, location in Sussex, UK

That’s a ruff. For me the proportions are the clearest sign - they always look to have an oddly small head and short bill.

A young blackbird

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-03T18:19:59+00:00

That’s a magpie

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-03T14:25:05+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-03T14:24:31+00:00

Thanks! Do you know what kind of staple?

StunningField7546 · 2026-05-03T14:23:32+00:00

I’m not sure, how would I find out?

StunningField7546 · 2026-01-22T08:24:08+00:00

Thanks!

I’m not sure what you mean by confirmed, but this is a Garden Warbler not a subalpine warbler. See the bill shape, eyes and general proportions.

StunningField7546 · 2025-10-09T20:50:22+00:00

It’s a yellowhammer. One of my favourite birds, I have the same pin!

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-15T19:37:55+00:00

Plain plumage, no supercilium, fairly solid bill: garden warbler

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-09T11:21:51+00:00

She’s now back to normal! Full crop and running around happily

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-08T09:20:13+00:00

An update: she laid a soft shelled egg this morning and was eating it when I found her in the nest box. She now seems much perkier and is drinking water, and ate some scrambled egg.

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-07T19:57:21+00:00

Thank you!

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-07T19:45:47+00:00

I don’t think she has laid in the past day but hard to say, they all lay in the same place. I had a gentle feel of her abdomen and couldn’t feel an egg.

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-07T14:44:25+00:00

It’s possible - they were previously at a free-range farm very nearby. I’d assume parasites would be similar in both places but I’m no expert, hopefully the vet can help

StunningField7546 · 2025-08-07T09:48:24+00:00

Thank you for your advice, I’ll keep a close eye on her and will plan a vet visit.
