In my garden.....

Nice additions. You did well to persuade the shy Chaffinches to come out. They never do what I tell them!

Cheers Nige...Haven't actually seen them in the garden for a while so nice to see them back. You just gotta ask nicely! lol

Ok so I have gone a bit mental as I like my grass cut rather short and after all my new additions of plants, shrubs etc...I allow inbetween all then to go a bit wild so all the little birds can hop about amongst them and feel safe...well the lawn mower cant get inbetween them all lol, but as i was cutting last night I was feeling rather terrible as all the bees where going mad with me cutting their willd things that grow inbetwen the grass so I created them a kind of not so perfect circle...its my garden so I can do as I please no matter how ugly it looks lol 

The bees love it already!

Back to my feathered visitors...

Maggies just taking it easy as usual

 A little warm bath

I can feed myself now woohoo

Oh that bath looks inviting

More bathing

My time for a bath

Hawl big bird when will you be done

Or can I just jump in with you

Back on dry land

A youngish one

Mr BB appreciating my wild patch

That fence certainly comes in handy to wipe ones beak on.

and just a few more of my youngsters...

Well thats your lot for today. Hope you enjoyed.

Always good to leave a little patch go wild and fill with clover for the bees and other little critters

I like your crop circle, who knows what will land there:-) Some lovely photos of the youngsters, that little Robin is the star for me.

Lovely variety of birds, Linda. We rarely ever see a Song Thrush in the garden.

Thanks all...will keep you updated with my wild and developing crop circle...(Whatever will you do next my other half mutters lol)

My other half had same thought as you Nige " a little patch to grow wild"...why have little when you can do large I say lol

Last time I saw a thrush in the garden Paul it was raiding my pond for nest building material...maybe 2 months ago , so was an absolute delight to see a youngster.

Little Robin is a cutie Gaynor...it must have a bath every hour or so lol

Great pictures, squirrel looks like a nosey neighbour. Lovely to see all the youngsters doing well. I have a large wild meadow but have tried to get lots of nice wild flowers, but seem to get lots of long grass!! Worth it though for the spring cowslips.
