That could work out expensive Bob. No doubt it was taken to feed the babies. The do have large beaks. Last week I put our two pork chop bones, quite big with some fat left on them. I watched a magpie pick one up and drop it on the lawn, a couple of hours later both bones had disappeared, obviously lifted by a Magpie or crow. |

I have just installed one of they 6ft high bird feeder pole things, and last night filled the feeders with seed and in the tray two fat balls. |

Awe Gwyn I hope the cygnets survive. Lovely to see them. Is Dsd around as well? We have those little blue butterflies in the garden, very pretty. |

A glorious warm and sunny day yesterday with bright blue sky, when I went for my walk. |

Yes, the parakeets are very noisy. In fact I had heard one when I was walking at the (Churchyard) side of the pool, but couldn't see it anywhere. |

The sunflower hearts are really bringing in the birds. I thought I saw a blackcap on them yesterday but I wasn’t sure. He was back today and I am now sure it is a male blackcap which is another bird we haven’t seen here before. |

I have seen the greenfinch today so OH was right. First one we have seen around here. I just hope I don’t run out of sunflower hearts before I am able to go out to restock as it’s those that have attracted the goldfinches and now the greenfinch. |

I was sitting in the conservatory yesterday afternoon and watching a thrush picking mealworms from a dish, a robin at the mealworms in a ground feeder, a couple of bluetits on the peanuts and a couple of goldfinches on the sunflower hearts. It was such a lovely scene. |

I've been watching a couple of Magpies building a nest in the neighbours conifer, they've been busy for weeks now. I always thought they took over other birds nest, so was surprised to see them coming and going with bits of twigs and the like in their beaks. Yesterday I had the back door open and heard a funny noise, when I looked out there were two Magpies right up by my back door, I didn't think they'd come so close. They soon went back down the garden when they saw me though. |

That’s great Pat. At least there are signs of summer with you so perhaps it won’t be too long before we see some signs too. |
