BIRD NEWS:118

I have a couple more sad pictures to share concerning the garden wipeout next door. These are the before and after on a very tall tree which was used as a nesting site by the local goldfinches - who will now need to locate a new home. You might also see a slab of wood on the washing line post - where Beatie's nesting box used to sit.

December continued...

Here is a shot of Pidge staring into the bird table below, about to fly in. He actually did so and was busy eating seed for a while. He was shortly joined by two doves, whom he did not object to.

Meanwhile, as we entered the weekend prior to Christmas, here is a shot of the starlings busily enjoying their feast. Behind you can see my newly reclaimed poly tunnel - due to the removal of next doors' trees and shrubs, there is now enough light to use it again. I have decided to do so - half as a potting shed and half as a poly tunnel.

Oh look! Chackie came to investigate the feeder pole!
