In an English Country Garden...

Although we are not strictly in the countryside we've had quite a few visitors to the bird feeders here in Fulwood.

The nuthatch comes on a daily basis and takes over the peanut feeder...

This bluetit held on for grim death in a strong wind...

The lovely long-tailed tits arrive in groups and quickly feed before flying on..

I can't help thinking that they have an uncanny resemblance to a small mammal. I think it's the small beak which does it!

The Jay sneaks onto the bird table when it thinks no one is looking..

This male Bull finch was fine having his photo taken - as long as it was either blurred...

.... or hiding his head!

And, of course, the robin fiercely defends his territory....

We feel so lucky to have a wealth of bird life to watch whether in France or England and long may it stay that way. It certainly cuts down the time spent on house work!
