Pat was it warm? Wouldn't they let you stay? We've only just started getting sunshine, it has to warm up sometime!

The mind boggles at that many species of birds, can you list them? I had a blackbird female that used to wait near me for worms, only one year though. They are a bit too brave! There was a male squashed on the road not long ago, just opposite, they nest in the hedge across the road. I saw the female come over for a drink, she will have a nest of young ones to feed on her own. I felt sorry for her, it's a risky business nesting one side, drinking the other.

I saw my regular wagtail a few days ago, the female was also there. I don't think I have seen the female before, the male darts around the 'lawn' after insects quite often. I got some pics, but it was dull and I had the camera on zoom, it was trying to focus on the bank in front of me I think. I got 2 pics with both in the frame, in one they were about a foot apart but it was blurred. The other they are at either edge.
