What a little beauty Sheps. They're so stunning. We have them every year at work- nesting in the stables etc. One almost landed on my car today - he [or she] had some bits and pieces in his beak, and lost his footing on the drainpipe when he tried to land. The sparrows are quite plentiful here - I know they struggle in many places. I've got about three or four pairs I think. I've certainly seen two pairs, plus several other males, all in the garden together. They're eating some amount of food too! I got some pix of the blue tits in the pond today, so I'll see what they're like. I ate my dinner in the late sun, about ten feet from the pond and feeder, sitting on a bag of compost, watching all their activity. It doesn't get much better than that
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
This is part of what makes gardening so worthwhile - a lovely day today and saw my first blue butterfly as well as these dragonfly skeletons and various birds feeding their young.
