Spring is in the air


This little water feature is frequently visited by the birds. The Blackbird is often spotted enjoying a refreshing wash. I have seen the Blue tits and Starlings enjoying a dip. Only the other day two Starlings were having a dip together. One had a feather in its beak whilst the other had some twine. Unfortunately, they left their 'toys' on departure.








If you look closely you will see a Greenfinch enjoying a snack. They then enjoy a refeshing drink from the Bird Bath.











Hopefully, you'll spot two Greenfinches. One sitting on the fence the other on the feeder.
Taken through the kitchen window. Quality is not too good.











Again a Greenfinch enjoying its food. this shot taken through the kitchen window, so quality is not so good.












At last the Goldfinches, sitting and enjoying the Niger seed provided in the lantern. They have become a frequent visitor over the last few days. I have hoped that they would follow after the Greenfinches who have availed themselves of this seed too.












The birds enjoying a bath! There is a Blackbird having a bath, notice how he chases off the Greenfinches which swoop down to either bathe or have a drink. He does this several times. Unfortunately I am too far away to clearly see, but you should get the general idea!
