Dawn Chorus...

Wednesday 14th April 2010



Don't you just love this time of year. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the central heating is turned off and life feels good again. I'm so happy to be living where I live. From the windows of this house, I have seen thirty-eight different types of bird. That's a pretty good bird count and a lot more than I ever dared to expect.

One morning, I counted five Song Thrushes in the garden at the same time! Another day, two Redwings were on the front path, and a flock of Fieldfares were in the fields beside the house. Back in December I spotted three Redpolls in the back garden and they have been coming to the feeders ever since. The list goes on and on........
