In the Garden

The garden hasn't been a hotbed of activity recently, the two Blue Tits and a Robin are still a constant on the feeder. There are around a dozen or so House Sparrows that seem to have taken up residence in the trees at the top of the garden and we're getting a lot in the garden at the front too, they love the birdbath and spend a fair bit of time in the hedge and in the the buddleia that's right outside the window.

I had to defrost the birdbath Sunday morning 

They are picking up nesting materials as they usually do, the front garden seems to be a favourite for that every year, I think though they nest in the trees at the end of our little row of houses.There looks to be a pair of Woodpigeon settling into to one of the trees there too.

I did hear a Chiffchaff a little further down the road on Saturday but none in the garden so far, it's good to know they are around though.

This is the tree that comes over from the neigbours garden, it's right by our feeder and the birds use it regularly to hop across. It's in gorgeous full flower at the moment, i'm not sure what it is but the Blue Tits love it and spend a long time picking at it.
