    No but my son has tried in the past to take a piccy of them. All he got was an open window and a brown blurr as they all flew off because he’d moved .
    I’ll see what I can do before all the babies grow up and the moments are lost ………till next year .

    We moved our feeders to the living room window away from the terrace to keep safe from the cat. Now the sparrows and the great tits sit at the window to have a good look inside, sometimes it feels like they are judging what we are doing, and if the cat is watching I swear they taunt her by coming right up to the window and staring at her.

    the young ones are currently learning how to slide down the wall and wait in orderly fashion for their turn at the feeder…. It’s like a production line! Just to add the spines are to keep away the pigeons…the little birds all just sit in between them 😀

    Apparently, British robins are tamer because we don't have a history of eating them so they don't see us as a danger.

    I know @B3 but how many generations does it need for them to learn we're OK?  Remember the tits learning to steal cream from milk bottles on doorsteps in the 60s?  They passed that round fast enough.
