New Additions To The Garden

They are really nice,Carole,and look a treat where you have them..I'm sure your birds will soon realise your new cafe and swimming pool is open for business:o))

i love them , they look great. wont take the birds long to start using them

I love tham too, they look really fab....

Lovely new items to adorn your already pretty garden :o)

Thanks everyone cant wait to get some birds using them, will put out a really tempting meal for them tomorrow!

Posh birds you have there Carole!

Four star Feeding station and Bird Bath..

I cannot place any feeding stations or feeders near front of garden as we have
Rats I am afraid the rats may then try to enter the House.

The reason we get Rats is our House backs on to the Fields, it is not so bad in the Summer, its the Winter we have to take care.

~it takes a while even for them to get used to new feeders but they will get there~i like them both~ good choice!

Perfect additions Carole.....love the cream colour, the birds will soon get used to them.......wonderful focal points....:o)

Thanks Arlene and Janey, we placed them so We could watch the activity from the conservatory, Bring on the Show LOL

lovely carole, im after a bird bath this year, im sure the birds will soon get use to it, very posh to, is that for upper class birdies carole lol

Love them Pp ! The birds should only take a couple of days to get used to the new additions.Hope you have heating in the conservatory !!

They are lovely additions to your garden Carole , i'm sure the birds will soon be queueing up to use it .. I like the matching colours , very nice !

Thanks Sandra does look posh at the moment but no class distinction at our house, sure the birds will be leaving their calling cards very soon lol
Thank BB and Amy certainly hope so, we got it reduced in the sale, there was a piece of wood missing on the roof which Harry soon replaced, should have been £99 .00 reduced to £79 , we got a further 10% off as Im a Sage garden club member so did very well ;0)

im sure they will carole lol

They look brilliant in your garden, PP. My bird table is looking very tatty so seeing yours has inspired me to start planning a rebuild!! Like the bird bath too - bet there will soon be queues waiting to use your 5 star facilities :)

Thanks Gee, been a few this morning but not seen any taking a dip yet lol

I love them. I quite fancy a dovecote - I havent got any doves but like them :-)

Me too, I have a pair of collared Doves that visit daily, but really havent enough room for a dovecote ;0)

You two new additions are just beautiful.

Thanks Dawn a few more birds visited today, but they are so cautious !

I'm pleased the birds are visiting and I've found too that they're always a bit wary at first, beforre long they'll be eating you out of house and home.

;0)

To save time I could parcel you up a couple of dozen starlings, a dozen jackdaws and about 6 pairs of ducks, PP. My garden became very crowded this morning :)

Lol I think I WILL decline the offer today got enough with the pigeons and Magpies ;0))

very nice PP .looks fab

Thanks Deida really pleasd with it!

They are both lovely and I am sure the birds will be tickled pink with them.

Thanks Sixpence pleased you like them:-)

: O )

I wonder if you new additions now have snow on them? Several flurries here today and this evening we have had a enough to settle, so no gardening for me yet :(

Well Gee I set off determined to sow my seeds today even though we have had snow on and off all day, but most of my work was indoors so hooray 12 Trays sown and all my cuutings either repotted or soil topped up. So pleased.! Like you the snow settled but dont think it will be around for long , says me hoping! Just posting a picture of my new birdtable and birdbath in todays snow! ;0)

Lovely birdbath and table. The table is similar to mine. Is the roof slate? Well done on getting your seeds sown. I've just taken half a dozen cuttings from my perenial wallflower and they are sitting on my kitchen windowsill in the sunshine. At least we seem to be keeping the greenfly outbreak in the greenhouse at bay with spraying.

Thanks Lindak the roof is slate what colour is yours? I am afraid I lost my Perenial wallflowers in the bad weather, they looked so pitiful, its a shame as I do love them and they smell nice too, But I will get some more, mine were Purple and Gold!

I've not been here for a while (which I feel bad about) and the first thing I saw when I logged in this morning was your new birdbath and table. It's a lovely setting and a really nice way of using your vouchers. Hopefully now that time has moved on since the picture was taken you've had lots more visitors.

A few Irene but plaguied by Pigeons at the moment;0(

Yes my bird table has a grey slate roof. We have an outbreak of young starlings visiting the garden and they are fun to watch. They squabble and eat so much that they can hardly take off!!! We have a chaffinch that has a bad leg and hobbles around to get enough food to take back to his nest. They are all wet this morning as we have had rain for a couple of hours with thunder and lightning. Some of the lightning looked pink in colour and we wondered if it was the volcanic ash causing it to look like that. At least the gardens are getting a good watering and some nitrogen put back into the soil.

Rain hear all morning but no lightnening, the gardens certainly need it should see a a burst of new growth, I have noticed the Blue Tits and Great Tits are not using the bird table think they are still feeding young!

The birdbath is a very good idea - every garden should have one !

I get all sorts of birds on and in mine including a kingfisher yesterday and we are about 8 miles from a river/lake etc

Good luck with yours

Thanks Mariek, the birds make me smile they come down eat their fill of food then hop onto the birdbath for a quick drink and brush up!
Wow must have been exciting seeing a Kingfisher;0)

Looks great. We have just hung up a little house bird feeding table from a tree in our back garden. I have been wanting one for ages, but this is the first I have ever had! It took a couple of days for the birds to be brave enough to hop into it, but after that, they appear in hordes every day & it is so entertaining to sit in our sunroom to watch their antics. Then they go & have a drink. New birdbath arrived today, so they will now be able to splash about too. Wow ... a Kingfisher! Awesome. We had a pair of Tuis in our back garden yesterday, which was a big thrill, as the tui is one of our lovely native birds but not seen too often (I live in NZ).

Hi Dwyllis I havent been on Goy for awhile and I am now starting to catch up with everyone, so welcome to Goy and Im pleased you like my Bird House and Bath they certainly draw the birds in. Sounds as if yours is proving to be a big hit with your bird population too! What are Tuis like have you a picture?

Hi Pansypotter ...
Nice to see you back on GoY :o)))

Thanks Terra, its god to be back will catch up with you soon;0)
