Spring is finally starting to happen here.......

everything is looking lovely maureen so nice to see colour again isnt it, and as for the goldfinch i know what you mean, i love seeing mine around every day, so pretty ;o))

Chaffinches oh you are a very lucky lady!!!! They come into the nursery garden where I work but have never seen them in my garden!!!! you lucky lady. There eating Nigellia seeds aren't they, and they are expensive. Do they like anything else Maureen?

pauline these are goldfinch, love niger seed and sunflower hearts, i give then thistle seed to, but mainly sunflower hearts cause i cant get niger seed here much

Nice to see everything coming along so well Maureen. I'm glad you had those little birds. I had them in my former garden but not seen them here.

Lots of colour in your garden, Maureen and Goldfinces too!

Well worth waiting for Milky...And a lovely added bonus with your visitors!!
Lovely Pics..

Oh Sandra I have gone through life thinking they were chaffinches lol Well I guess now iI know!

Lovely flowers you have in your garden, Milky. The birds on the feeder are the "icing on the cake"!

gorgeous milky.

Great pics Milky and a joy to see such colour abound starting to show. Lovely feeling and sight to have out there and this will be my first Spring that I appreciate having only got into all this last year.

Great shot of the birds too........

You must be chuffing......or chaffing!

Your garden's springing to life, great photos of the Goldies too :-)))

Thanks all for the lovely comments.....I was beginning to think it wasnt going to happen here after watching all your pics and I had nothing to photograph

Beautiful birds! Some lovely sights there, Milky.

aw thats great ,plenty of colour, can't see much in my garden yet milky ,nothing to take photo's of yet ,nice to see the birds ,you are well on your way .

Everything is doing well for you as for the goldfinch thats just the icing on the cake as i think there so pretty.

Lovely photos, Milky, that Magnolia is going to be stunning. Isn't it lovely how things have just 'appeared' :)

Everything comes to those who wait and hasnt it made a colourful splash in your garden Maureen and that pretty little Goldfinch what more could you want!

Brilliant Maureen, things are looking good in your garden :-) The gold finches are just gorgeous, one of my favourites.

Maureen thankyou so enjoyed in your garden tonight and to see how much further in growth you are .

Icing on the cake are your wonderful birds in your garden.

Thankyou.

Thankyou all very much.....

Lovely photos Maureen, great to see the Spring bursting into life again. Your Magnolia is ahead of mine, still tight buds with no colour showing yet - I think it's teasing me!

You've got some wonderful blooms there Maureen lovely blog and the best one of all saved till last well captured.

Beautiful plants and well worth the wait. I loved seeing the goldfinches as last year a pair landed in our front garden - very exoctic for us!! I guess they were just resting for a while though on route to your garden maybe and as we don't have feeders in the front they left never to be seen again sadly!

Thankyou all......Spring has finally sprung yipppeeeeeee!!!!

Singing I, yi yippee, yippee yi , singing I, yi yippee, yippee I, singing I, yi yippee, I yi yippee, singing I yi yippee, yippee I lol.

Lovely pics Milky, looking forward to seeing your magnolias in full bloom, which one is it? Great shot of the goldfinches:-)

I think its Leonard Messel Bornagain, because its quite pink. Love the song Sixpence.....Lol

Milky:

Your garden is looking great!

Can you keep it quite small Milky and can you grow clematis up it for when it's doing nothing? I've recently bought 'Susan' :-)

Lovely garden plants Milky- the camelia looks cheerful and so do the goldfinches dining on your seeds :-)

Thanks all Bornagain I dont see why not.....Might be a nice Idea.....
