nice one PJ C I HAD TWO PAIRS hopping about in the end, they were having a bit of a stand off with my pair of blackbird's as well . if anyone reads this PLEASE PLEASE FEED YOUR BIRDS it very hard for them at the mo,and you can bring beautiful birds to your gardens!!

 

[user123]

I stomp out there every morning, :lol:, pjamas, wellies, and coat, to feed them, they like the left over cat food, too! I am hoping to grow into one of those eccentric old ladies, sitting in the garden, laptop insted of knitting, with birds sitting on her shoulder...when the cat's asleep, witing for the grout of my latest mosaic commission to dry. Yes, my idea of success. :lol: Sorry, where were we? Oh yes, birds...
