the aforementioned shufflewing, blackbirds, a reasonably friendly thrush i also feed, sparrows nesting in the eaves of the house next door and lots of babies in the garden atm, pied wagtails, robins, these are quite fun to feed too, crows, rooks, jackdaws, i sometimes leave some meat out for them early before people start moving about as they're very edgey and rarely come later on. wood pigeons, owls, and several types of bop, kestrels, kites and buzzards and all that

They're fairly common where I come from, less so where I live. Actually I noticed the other week that the swallows were back. They used to nest in the eaves of my parents' house and I've always had a particular soft spot for them.

big pro swallow movement at the mo here with new buildings incorporating 'nest bricks' basically hollow bricks for them and many off the shelf swallow nesting boxes you can buy and put up yourself. it's an offence to disturb nesting sites these days i think, especially if they're active. good job. i get some bats here as well.
