There's blackbirds nesting in the conifers next door. Every teatime they come onto our garden and start shouting at us for food.
Our_Lass has been chucking meal worms and pellets out. Cheeky sods  ;)

Do you buy the live meal worms Fly?
i love Blackbirds - they can shoo the starlings off if they choose to.
Don't think I will get any of the small birds this year such as the Gold Finches as the large trees were cut down last back end - and that is where they came from  :(

The sun's brought some nice flowers out



I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

There's quite a lot of background detail but, if you look closely, you should be able to see the Woodpecker feeding on the fat balls at the side of my friends' bird table last night.
