Week 8 of Lisa Coleman’s bird weekly challenge features birds at the feeders.
It was lovely to see this greenfinch. I hadn’t seen one for ages.

A couple of years ago I tried bringing the robins closer to the house with seed in a bowl on the patio table. It worked a treat with two arriving at once. It looked like they were sizing each other up initially but behaved very well and shared nicely.


A male house sparrow. Sparrows seemed to disappear for a while but they’re back in force this year.

Well, this was unusual. We’ve never had magpies on the feeders. At least there was two of them…


Lovely to see juvenile blue tits…


and of course, the adults

And last but not least, goldfinches

What a wonderful array of birds you have today! I haven’t seen many of these. I’ve never gotten a good photo of the magpie. I know they have to make you happy to see them! 🙂
