I think it must be the Spring sunshine, but my garden and feeders were very busy today. Courting Woodpigeons and Collar Doves, Dunnock,Bullfinches, Tits chasing each other, a greenfinch.A few pictures of what I did manage to catch.

    Hi Birdwatcher,

    The pics have disappeared again today. I saw them yesterday and thought the crow was a jackdaw, but as the pics have been eaten I can't go back and have another look.

    Cheers, Linda.

    Hi Birdwatcher,

    Sorry no pictures for me aswell, will try again later.

    Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!

    Fabulous photos Birdwatcher. The bullfinch is exquisite and I am extremely jealous as I am still waiting for that one to put in an appearance. Well done on getting him on camera..

    The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.

    The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!

    Thanks Squirrel and everyone else for the kind comments on my photos.
    It is the first year we have had Bulfinches and I have a male and female come everyday. They seem to like the sunflower hearts off the tree tray and I can set my watch by them. Always around 11am and again at 3pm.

    Yippee I can see them too. Great set of photos. I'm envious of your bullfinch which I hardly ever see.

    I can see them at last ! They were well worth waiting to see. My favourite is the jackdaw. I just love the way it is looking at me from the side. Thank you.

    Hi Sarah
    I was sat in the garden with a woolly coat and gloves on just like the add on the tele where they have a barbie  in the snow - mad or what
