We NEVER see a thrush now.... and at the moment ALL  that comes into the garden are 'Magpies' Pigeons and blackbirds....  the occasional Robin and a few little finches...

Never a sparrow or starling or thrush... .. I do have two cats but I've always had cats and it never stopped the birds before...

ho hum  I am in the midlands.... anyone in this area see Thrushes....Huh

what about you Rabbit???

xin

Thrushes, starlings, sparrows, blackbirds, ring doves, collared doves, magpies, blue tits, great tits, robins, wrens, sparrowhawk (once), the odd buzzard overhead and owls heard but not seen.  If you regard mid Staffordshire as the Midlands  Grin

And aspidistras flower at ground level in this country too - small, boring browny purple things, but slugs tend not to get near them to pollinate them in indoor pots

Back to the topic ...?

Hi Xin,

You must have seen me coming,  yep we get a thrush now and again, there are not as many about as there were though! have a blackbird nesting in my wisteria too   Cool

We also get woodpeckers all three kinds, and lots of long tailed tits, Red kites, doves and all the other stuff like 'sparrers' and so on. including a sparrow hawk who persists in catching my sparrows!  Well he has to make a living doesn't he, wish he wouldn't do it at lunch time though!

This picture is quite a challenge init!

Wow Paula,

That is superb!  You really are clever, as are all the others, my admiration for the work on these boards never ceases!

At least 10 stars for this one!

Funny, but sometimes the picture almost does itself. This one 'just happened,' everything went right. Loved doing it and for once well pleased with the result.
