[beefy]

in my flowerbed

Spotted today while weeding rose beds . He stayed for about 10 mins while I turned over the bed and hopped in for the bugs .

Everyone say "Ahhh"
Keep quiet you dont know who will turn up.

Good Robin pic Beefy. Yes, they are like that. Robin follows me about to see what I will turn up for him. Sometimes I don't do it fast enough for him and he is right there on the fork, or down the hole I'm trying to work in. Just about have to kick him out of the way to get on with the job.
Last year I had 3 Robin chicks all standing just outside my door with their beaks wide open waiting for a parent to stuff something in. Must try and get a pic this year.
Today I found a Blackie egg shell, clean, so chicks hatched. The year is always further on than you think.

Robins, blackbirds, jackdaws, buzzards, any birds like that I luv em! Pigeons, though! Don't get me started on *^##! pigeons!!!

any one seen a 'swallow' yet?

I'm jealous Beefy, we don't have a tame robin (yet). I dare not encourage birds near the house, what with two cats, and the lottie seems devoid of birds - although I did see a flock of goldfinch last year (is it a charm?) before BW dug all the thistles up!

He's gorgeous beefy. We have a couple at the lottie who regularly appear and one at home that hung around waiting for Mr EB to reseed the lawn. Saw a bullfinch at the lottie yesterday and I'm still trying to identify the bird I saw on the telephone wire outside the house yesterday am as I think it may have been a young one. The markings weren't textbook and weren't definite.

There is a pair of wrens up by the swimming pool who are fun to watch.

My aunt had a tame robin who used to fly in the front door and round a corner into the kitchen. Not even my parrot is that clever

I have a pair of robins in the garden. They followed me around the garden today getting in to where I had freshly dug. Also saw my first Peacock butterfly today and several ladybirds.
