..and then there were three :o)

Wasn't he sweet Sandra? You got a good shot of him too. Thanks for lovely compay as usual. The Purple Emperor is now happily residing in the gravel bed. Thank you again for your kindness xx

I could have watched him all day,Julia..but lunch called for us too :o) my that was quick..planted already? You were very welcome,and I hope it does well for you .It's a little toughie,so I think it will be fine :o)....sent you an email xxx

Nice to have some company ... human and bird :)

Thank you Hywel,we had a lovely day..I know you don't really like birds,but has this little ball of fluff changed your mind ? :o) x

No :) lol ...

He looks like a fledgling - and already working the crowd, lol! what a brazen little guy. I hope you enjoyed your afternoon. :)

So pleased you had two lovely companions for lunch today! .......and sunshine too a bonus! :o)
ps super picture :o)

I didn't really think so,Hywel :o)

Thanks Paul,we did..the birds soon learn where to get food,don't they? He will probably go there every day now..:o)

Three wasn't a crowd yesterday,as they say..he would be welcome to gatecrash anytime lol. .and yes,definitely a bonus to be able to sit out,for a change..:o) x

Have you emailed my old address ,Sandra?

Lovely photo Sandra, pleased the little one was given some crumbs as so many places frown upon the public feeding the birds, I know its to discourage vermin and can understand that but I admit there are times when I find myself being a messy eater and just have to brush my clothing off after having a little snackette, always make sure the table gets a wipe with the serviette as well, one gets so many crumbs when eating a scone as I bet you already know.....

Glad that you had a good day together , and that the weather was kind .
I'm in Majorca at present , and the weather is a little too kind .(Not moaning you understand).
Love these fledgelings at the moment , but they are not always too smart ; dancing in front of the cats , for instance , instead of flapping up off the ground !

We did,Driad,thank you,and glad you are having a lovely holiday,despite the heat..We love Majorca too...They are so vulnerable at the fledging stage aren't they?I hope the little fella makes it ok..:o)

I've noticed a pattern in your outings Sandra ....they all seem to revolve around FOOD, it's a wonder you're not the size of a house! Did you know starlings are on the red list? There was a time you couldn't move for them in town centres wasn't there? I have a few families visit my garden every day for a food fight, clever, pushy little birds and great photo too:-)

Lol,Ba..you have me well sussed..Luckily ,I'm not prone to gaining weight,which is just as well :o) I didn't know Starlings were on the red list,but I hardly ever see any in my garden...such a shame..

I'll send you some:-)

Okey dokey,Ba..just point them in a northerly direction please :o)

Lovely photo Sandra ...

Lovely picture Sandra, but where is the one of you two ! xx
