As promised a few bird pics from the garden as it's getting really busy now. With weather being yuck with a splash of sunshine I have been in my potting shed mostly with my camera and the the door open like so and the birds don't seem to mind
These two sit here most of the day !
Hawl!
It wasn't me!
Oh a could go on and on but bored you all long enough
But to finish as always...
Oh and got a brief shot of the one with no bushy tail..poor girl....a saw her pee so that's how I sexed her lol
Well that's your lot for now..hope you enjoyed the wee catch-up...be back soon with more
Another great selection Linda. You timed the starling shot well, recon I could hear it from here... Nice to see the fox, I have a couple of video clips to post later of the fox in our garden.
A grand update Linda, lots of variety there. Mr Foxy looking good as well. I did wonder, before I read your note, what on earth was in the last picture! Looked like something with no head, up on 4 feet!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks SM...too many starlings to choose from...fat balls only go out for an hour in morning and an hour in evening as the noise is too intense ...look forward to seeing you fox clips later
Thanks CL...oh he is getting old and struggling to chew through bones so I take the chicken off the bone for him..poor old boy....lol a will try get a better pic of the fox with stubby tail but it's a bit skittish
I got some fat balls from Pets at Home, they last for ever. I think they may have mixed concrete in them
A think a need to get some of them..easily go through 4 a day the now if a left them out all day
Super update Linda, like your 'bird hide'

I had a box of 50, I recon I have had about 6 outside for the last 2 months, no idea what I will do with the rest. Starling are nesting next door as well...
Wot! No Jock??
Snappy.... I had some rock hard balls (now now BD, I know how your mind works!!) and.i ended up breaking them up and scattering on the patio, and everything came and had a go at them. Soon cleared them out
