It was a very quiet bear fair - maybe Easter Sunday is
not a good day for fairs. Regular studio visitors will know that I feed and
watch the birds that visit our farmhouse garden. Spotted over the weekend
were: House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch,
Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Blackbird, Magpie, Starling, Greater Spotted
Woodpecker and Bullfinch. It also looks like our nesting box is being
occupied by a pair of Blue Tits. Adopted before the site was updated: Bernard No longer available: Spinach, Gloria, Crispin and Posie |
