My two little babies...........

...............Hi everyone I haven't anything crafty to show you today, have been busy watching the Olympics and relaxing, wish I could say I am enjoying the Summer....weather here today has been sunshine and heavy showers, soooooooo I thought  I would share something from my garden..........these very cute pictures of my baby Blackbirds...................ahhhhh don't you just think they are beautiful....

bottom picture shows Mum returning to her babies she is soooo scruffy feathers sticking out everywhere after all her hard work....Dads nowhere to be seen by the way....... lol.  We did have a pair of song thrushes busy feeding 3 babies (DH took a quick peep over a week ago) but sadly over the last 2 days I haven't seen them and today when I was hanging out washing I could hear the babies cheeping in the hedge.......I feel something is wrong ............ as our song birds are getting so scarce I was hoping for great things with this nest...........It has not been all bad news though In my garden I have seen baby Robins, lots of sparrows, baby Blue Tits and of course the baby Blackbirds.

Thanks for reading the ramblings from my garden................ off to watch the Olympic Tennis.......
'till next time

Special Visitor

Look who came to visit me today.................NO not Santa...................but a wildlife friend

Photo not so good as I had to take through window and stay away so he didn't see me! He was looking for dinner as we have pheasants come here everyday he could smell them and was following their path.............not surprisingly I haven't seen any pheasants today ...........they are too clever for Mr Fox or it could have been Mrs...lol!!

I feel so privileged to see the large array of wildlife I get in my garden or just in the field adjacent copious amounts of birds come to the feeders and I have also been soooooo close to a Barn Owl as he flew past me one night ......it was amazing!

No crafting today just shopping cleaning mine and Mom's........exhausted now!!
DH just come in cold and wet so off to cook dinner.  Wind howling and rain lashing so will light fire and sit by roaring log fire with feet up watching telly....might write some Christmas cards....might!

Bye for now

BRRRR..... Freezing weather Poor birds

Feeding the Birds

We have taken pity on the pheasants that appear at our house every morning and more and more are coming each day in this freezing weather so I thought you may like to see some pics taken this morning out of the kitchen window DH braved the cold at 6.30am -6  before work to take out the feed.  Photos are not as clear as they should be .....think the windows want cleaning no chance when there is so much crafting to be done LOL. 

Total count of pheasants this morning was 11 2 male and the rest females

Even the Blackbird got some breakfast he was soon there

Have to go and defrost car hope it starts we are off to see grandson in school play today Ahhhhh cant wait I'm so excited. 

Bye for now
