Flickr favourites part 2 11:52pm on 05 Nov 2009 Hi Martin, love the colours at this time of year. Great selection of pics. There are great sounds too don't you think? Perhaps you could have people sending in sound clips too.

We get pink footed geese going over our house but we've another noisy individual that is around at dusk in my small Perthshire garden (SCO). I've absolutely no idea what it is. I've trawled through the RSPB site bird calls but am no closer to an ID. I'm assuming its a bird!

I've captured this call on video (blank black image)and wondered if anyone at the AW team could tell me. I'd love to know what it is. Where/how would I submit this to you?

Thanks, loving the new format and unsprung format :-D

What's going on in YOUR garden?! 10:25am on 04 Nov 2008 Hi again Stephen :-)

I have already mentioned my pine marten sighting at a reserve last week, above, but reading through your posts again I too have lots similar going on in my garden too.

Yes, I am also seeing coal tits hiding sunflower hearts in moss growing on stones, in gravel and in borders. It is funny to watch – I wonder if they will remember where they have put them? I also have dunnocks regularly using my bird table.

I am also seeing activity at my nestboxes with blue tits. I have a rooster in the one without the camera - typical. However, this blue tit did have a look in the Nestbox with the camera too – rather too a close inspection of the new camera. You can see this on my diary/blog posting here http://blog.shirlsgardenwatch.co.uk/2008/10/what-are-birds-doing-when.html

I am now watching out for the return of Blackcaps who have visited my garden the last two winters. They usually arrive Dec/Jan but I am keeping a look out for them now just in case they just pass through.

What's going on in YOUR garden?! 10:01pm on 03 Nov 2008 Hi there Stephen :-)

Not in my Perthshire garden but at Loch of the Lowes Nature Reserve I caught not only a sighting of a juvenile Pine Marten but some video too. I was thrilled!

I posted it on my gardenwatch blog if you or anyone else is interested in seeing it - see http://blog.shirlsgardenwatch.co.uk/2008/10/pine-marten-evening.html
