At The Moment .

 Watching a magpie in a tree doing gymnastics. Warm wind and sunny no rain at the moment . 

Sparrows seem to visit a bit more often. 

Cold and Gloomy

 A cold damp gloomy start for June.

Saw two jays  one in a wood the other one came to visit the garden.

Sparrows have decided to visit the garden not seen him for a long time. 

Been A While

 Resident robin has been showing his little family off. Really lovely to see. . Made friends with one of the chimney magpies . It comes to visit often and has a good look in the patio window. 

Weather has been not to bad . Overcast and windy at the moment. My friend the crow comes for a chat every now and again. 

New strimmer and it works beautifully. But the grass needs a cut again . Grew so quick with all the rain we had. 

Walk

 A walk around the park was very good. Plants , trees , flowers beginning to blossom some were already in blossom. 

Saw a  Canadian geese family mum dad and 2 goslings. Dad had that look on his face you mess with my family I mess with you. 

Birds galore. Plenty of sparrows nice to see. .

Resident starling sitting in its favourite spot in the apple tree having a good look round. Pecking at the apple blossom 

New Resident?

 The starling sat on the same branch in the apple tree and was singing his / her heart out. The sun shining on its feathers making them shimmer was a joy to look at. I think it’s the same starling was has been visiting the apple tree for the past few days . A new resident? Hope so.

Colours

 A chat with a magpie very chatty he was. Creamy blossom against the bright blue sky looking like confetti all bunched up. Tulips in the garden with their petals wide open catching the warm sun rays. The beech trees leaves are getting bigger everyday and greener. 

April

 Rain snow sleet all in one day plus sunshine. Grey warm days bitterly cold windy but bright sunshine days. All this greeted the beginning of April.

Rabbits in the field in the late afternoon early evening  , then a fox came along and ignored the rabbits.

A spider web hanging on the patio door handle in the high winds, looking like a miniature  trampoline bouncing up and down constantly. 

Resident robin tends to visit in early morning then again in late afternoon . 

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 .

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 .
