With lock-down, once again photos from the garden.

This Great Tit (Parus major) does not seem to realise the effort I go to filling up the birdbaths with clean water several times a day!!!

On the edge of the pot of mint...

Checking out the muddy interior...

Getting closer...

Splish, splash...

rub a dub, dub...

Ha, so there, I do not need your clean water !!!!!

Blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) on the window sill.

    It's wonderful to feed and attract birds to your home! We love seeing them here too! Happy weekend!

      The birds have kept me sane during lockdown. They are a pleasure to watch. Keep safe, t'other Diane

    Great photos. The great tit reminds me of chickadees.

      Hi Marie, when I see the photos of the chickadees I have had similar thoughts. Stay safe and enjoy the week, Diane

    All that mud must be good for the pores, or something! I love these birds.

    Hope all is well - Stewart M - Melbourne

    It looked like might get some relief from the damned captivity but our politicians are determined to make us suffer. We have more rain and wind and everyone I know is totally p###ed off. At least Mr Macron is tackling one problem, or at least making the right noises. Only a few weeks to the shortest day!

      We don't actually find the lock down that difficult other than I hate the restrictions on exercise- 1 hr only and only within 1km radius of home. The fact we have to carry a form with us including date and time of leaving house means we cannot cheat. Fines are very heavy if caught out. I just wish UK would come to some sensible deal over Brexit, that will cause us far more problems than the lockdown does.
      Stay safe, Diane
