We've started hearing them a bit at home though (a few have started sitting on the guttering of our block, so we can hear but not see them) but they don't often land in our garden.

Every day before and every day after there's been a whole heap more of them. I'm beginning to think birds are either a) joke pullers or b) religious and take sundays off lol.<br />I usually get quite a lot of wrens here but only 1 made an apearance on Sunday and even that was fleeting and even the 2 collared doves were nowhere to be seen.<br />I'm quite jealous of the Gold finches Sue, I've had them here once but that's it. I'm going to make a better system this year so that I can start hanging the peanut feeders again without the rooks pinching it all.<br />You certainly got a good variety there though.Lindachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307042289297886569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-56612840529689355942015-01-27T15:37:50.017+00:002015-01-27T15:37:50.017+00:00The results just needed a bit of editing, Jessica....The results just needed a bit of editing, Jessica.

They must have had their fill by the afternoon as I didn't record many birds at all, in fact Eleanor laughed at me when she came towards the window and I told her to slow down because she'd scare the birds, she asked "What birds?". I've stopped putting peanuts out as I rarely have any takers, even the bluetits turn their beaks up at them. I love your photo of the frogs and the robin too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-24440792973741618082015-01-27T13:07:24.535+00:002015-01-27T13:07:24.535+00:00First of all, excellent photos.
