Watching the birds - feathered variety!




We have enjoyed watching the coming and going of the birds this past week. Lots of activity with starlings/sparrows/blackbirds and bluetits plus the occasional pigeon in the garden.
Even spied a great spotted woodpecker munching on a fatball the other day - which caused great excitement - was desperate to photograph it but my camera was, for once, not to hand - typical! 

Lots of starlings showing their babies how to eat. Much squabbling.  Blue-tits about to fledge any day now.  We sit with eyes glued to the nesting box but I bet they'll flee the nest when we're not around - as happened last year.

Hi Babs, lovely to see you back. Hope you are both coping. We don't get so many birds now we have chopped the trees down, but I am hoping, next year that will change when the new plants are bushier.
lol to you both Jan xx
