Magpies

 One for sorrow two for joy magpies that is. Walking around the beech trees pecking here there and everywhere, not many people like them I like them such beautiful birds. An other beautiful spring day the pink and white blossom slowly coming out. 

Colours

 Watching the midgets fluttering about in the late afternoon sun, thinking glad I am indoors. , as I have a very bad reaction to insects bites. A yellow butterfly decided to visit the dandelion clump. Then a white butterfly. Roused it’s path and went to the tree with the pink blossom. 

Running

 Resident robin and mate keeping me company in the garden on a lovely spring day. The daffodils are coming through a treat. Tulips are getting bigger. Then wren is running about on the lawn maybe catching insects that they can see and I cannot.

Not Much Happening

 Resident robin and mate have been very busy. So has the blue tits. The wren came to visit. The evenings are now getting lighter. Watching a hooded c4ow picking up nest building materials quite a large beak full it had. The honeysuckle is now sprouting it’s leaves think it’s going to be a good show. The daffodils are late but they are coming on and the tulips are just pushing through. 

Flash Mob.

 A flash mob of starlings landed in the apple tree , one blink  and they went again. A bird which I never seen before came into the garden. It darted around so quick I could really see it’s plumage properly. It was a small bird maybe from the tit family 

Tingly

 Pink clouds greet the dawn. After the rain overnight the scent of the earth greets my nose tingly. The resident robin is very busy in the garden. And the magpies appear again . 

All Things Birds

 Resident robin and mate have spent so much time in the garden a joy to watch. In the background the blue tits fly to and fro. A female song thrush came to visit. My friend the crow escorted me up the garden path chattering away. Pigeons on the roof opposite doing what pigeons do. Then a starling came along and sat on the fence for a while. No sign of the magpies yet. Then the resident robin sat in amongst the clump of dandelions taking a drink from the rain which collected on the leaves .
