I don't know why but there seems to be a lot more this year, my back lawn looks black when I put out their breakfast. I don't even have to call them now, they watch me unlock the patio door and down they swoop, one arrives first, we call him George and then he squawks and down come all the others. Two pigeons called William and Mary join then. We also have doves, magpies and jackdaws to name but a few.Talk about eating well, I get three large loaves every Thursday, a bag of peanuts, a large bag of small seeds for the little ones and a large pack of spaghetti. It's still not enough though and have ended up cooking them potatoes this week. They are indeed a joy to watch and people who call say they have never seen so many birds in one garden. Do you think I could get a child allowance to feed them. Ha Ha Cheers Penny.

Monsy, did you see the Bill Oddie programme a couple of weeks ago when he showed his all time favourite sight. Nothing exotic or rare but the swarming of starlings at dusk over the River Severn ( I think it was there). It was an amzing sight, millions of starlings absolutely blackened the sky.
