Birds Fill Our Garden!
Today I looked out of the window close to my work desk and noticed that our garden was filled with birds! I had heard their calls but was still surprised to see so many. They have been a bit quiet during the bad weather we have had. Today they were suddenly everywhere - small ones flying and flitting around, woodpigeons and doves feeding on the ground, long tailed tits, a robin and sparrows on every single one of the feeders, blackbirds kicking up the leaves to find food beneath. The bird bath in constant use! The hedge and garden was alive with wonderful birds! No doubt they have come in to find food and water and by their behaviour maybe looking for nest sites... I saw a few birds eyeing up and testing out nesting materials, lifting up the long slender twigs, picking up bits of fluff. Also a few squabbles, maybe over potential good nest sites.. I saw a couple of sparrows checking out the eaves of our home going in and out and seeing off other bird...
