The Robin was singing again this morning.   When we used to get a lot of Sparrow's they used to gather in our Laurel Bush and appeared to be constantly 'quarrelling. -- Sadly we only see 1/2 sparrows at a time and not very often. Even had our Crow to visit this morning. Picks up a piece of bread, dips it in the bird bath and flies away.
 Blackbirds are plenty, but not seen our lady blackbird with her bad foot for at least 5 days now. We miss her.

Could the squirrels have anything to do with the sparrows?
the squirrels are going into the trees where they lay their eggs,however there are still plenty of
Magpies
Starlings

Here we all are - 3 months onwards and the pleasure of Birds returning. Has been a slow buildup but worth waiting for. Better start getting more 'fatballs' in stock etc:
our lady Blackbird is back again and getting more frequent.
Happy day's?? They are a'coming!!

Teri, Thank You!!  What a lovelly way to think of it!!  Must tell Eve that. our family just sound Great!!
 This is now the second day, of being able to sit outside, with a cuppa and a ciggy -- All that fresh air, blue sky and closer to the birds -- Eve did say it was better than going out for the day. Yes, we did some garden work as well and are slowly improving the outlook. Have to buy some more plants -- Tomorrow!!

Have a lovely holiday Teri !
