Birds

 2 robins and 1 wren having a good look around the back garden. The blue tit having a drink from the water butt. A bright crispy morning.  A pigeon sitting on the lopsided aerial observing all what is going on around him.

Spring Is Coming

 Daffodils, crocuses , snowdrops scattered in the grass verges promising that spring is round the corner. The resident robin sat on the fence and sung so beautiful. Wind and rain coming in slowly

Winds

 Watching some birds flying through the very strong winds. How they do that I do not know.  The leaning tv aerial is still going strong in the winds. The huge clump of dandelions are bent over now due to the winds. The front lawn is covered in the small violet flowers looking good. Soon the daffodils and tulips be poking their heads through .

Starling

 The starling sitting in the apple tree having a good look round even though it’s very windy it sat there for a long time. The resident robin flew over to the starling but didn’t stay for long. The starling feathers ruffled in the strong wind very nice to see. Now the rain clouds are coming in .

Looking Forward

 Rain and wind are in for the day. Supposed to have 2 storms in 3 days ! The resident robin keeps me company as I put out the rubbish, singing in his tree. The crow caws good morning to me as I leave to go shopping . Talk to you soon he seems to say . Looking forward I say.

Hiding

 After the rain a pleasant morning was had. A bird of prey hovering think it’s the sparrow hawk hovering all the other birds are in hiding .

Crow Speak

 A lovely sunny afternoon blue skies gentle wind, then the crow came along and walked beside me till I got to the garden path. Chattering away it was shame I can’t speak or understand crow. Maybe I best try and learn.

Beautiful

 On a gorgeous spring like day the resident robin came out of his hiding place and sang . He is so beautiful.

The beech trees are beginning to show their tiny leaves. Same with the sweet chestnut tree .

Daybreak

 Daybreak crept in a bit earlier. Windy but not so cold. The crow came to have a chat while putting out the recycling. And the resident robin in the background singing away.

Sentry

 The lone seagull sitting on the pole in the middle of the duck pond looks like a sentry on duty. An other grey and dull day not even a ripple on the pond.

Dandelion

 The dark grey clouds have taken over the spring like weather. The only movement are the branches moving silently in the slight breeze . The big clump of dandelion looks sorry for itself.
