09/05/2021 Just a few of the regulars.

 It s over a month since I have posted here.  I have spent quite a lot of time in the garden trying to get flower beds, and vegetable gardens ship-shape, and generally the birdlife has been few.  Spring is obviously in the air and they have other things on their minds.  With lockdown, we have hardly left the house (and garden) other than to do our fortnightly shop.  

Please Note if you follow me by email the old feeder is closing down. I will be updating it to a new feeder very soon.
