FISTICUFFS AND FEEDING IN THE GARDEN

As always click on the image to see a larger version.

Well today has been a day of fun and frolics in the garden for the birds.
I decided I really need three cameras in this house, one for the kitchen one for the lounge and one in the study because whenever there is action in the garden, the camera is always in the other room! :-)
It rained incessantly all day yesterday so I didn't go out to replenish the feeders but my goodness... how they made up for it today

Get off... these are mine ... all mine!

The chain is to stop the feeder stand blowing over in the wind. I used less obtusive string originally but they ate that or took it for nesting material.

I'm just out of the bath! Can you see my beautiful colours?

My goodness these fat balls are good.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

This one spotted me pick up the camera but I just caught him.

Here she comes again..... I'm orff!

GARDEN VISITORS

After I filled the bird feeders I went and sat at my desk near the window with the camera beside me so that I could see who came. After a while I saw gold finches, green finches, woodpecker, sparrows, blue tits, pigeon and a little wren.
It was fun watching them all.
Here are some pictures for you.

I waited and waited but the wren and woodpecker were too quick for me! Just the slightest movement and they are off, the window is only about three metres form the feeders.
