Nice Picture Tabatha looks like he is having a feast ,is it a wild pigeon or is it ringed? I had one that came a while back that was ringed so i think it was a racing pigeon feeding up for his journey |

I must admit, I did wonder about that, I thought I could see something on his leg. But I can't get close enough to be sure. He has been around for a few weeks now though. He is always on his own as well. Our next door neighbour found a ringed bird a few years ago. I think someone came to collect it. It had come from somewhere in the Midlands, I think. Not sure how it was caught though. |

We bought a terrace a number of years back but they didnt use it, but I think the blue tits are interested. I spotted a sparrow feeding on the peanuts today and it flew off down the Crescent as opposed to just round past our gate to our neighbours house. I hope they get settled elsewhere if they have been given the push. Our neighbours are thinking of selling up so this could be the reason. |

Lovely photo, Tabatha, but I'm not sure if what I'm looking at is a leaf. (You wouldn't think I went to the Optician's yesterday!)

Marcus hadn't long come home from school this afternoon when he noticed one of the Blue Tits in the apple tree. I dashed (quietly) outside and managed to get a photo before it flew off.
