Even though it was pouring with rain this morning I sat in the hide trying to get some interesting shots of the Blue Tit family. I notice that Nina and Shaun, my nice neighbours had filled their feeders and the birds spent some time feeding from the new feed source. This is good as it gives them the chance to see the comings and goings. Here is a nice photo of one of the babies suffering a bit from wet conditions. I hope that it stops soon, it cant be good for such small and delicate birds to be wet for too long. I notice that this time last year we had hardly any bird visitors in the garden so the feeding that we have provided this year has certainly encouraged them. Just to repeat, we have had 7 species of young birds in the garden so far this season, a great result! No Robins? We haven’t had one in the garden for several weeks, I wonder why?
