It's said that it's the tallest tree in the street.....but only ...

Brilliant, love it..........

Great story Dan I bought some niger seed yesterday and filled a feeder with it -hope I get some goldfinch too :-)

You are as nutty as a fruit cake Odd, but a fantastic blog and unbelievable picts, you keep me smiling, and yes, the puns are REALLY bad!!!! lol :~))

wonderful pics--and the words are brill-- goldfinches are lovely birds and seem to be increasing in numbers which is great

Very punny :-))

Thanks all!

Good luck with the seeds Richard and don't be dismayed if you see nothing for a while. My Niger feeder was up for months before we first saw Siskins and now the finches so give it time:0)

Nicest thing anyone's said to me.....this morning Floribunda!! Life's too short to be anything less than fruity as! If you're smiling, then that's good:0)

Thanks Pam and it does seem they are getting more in numbers. Striking birds without a doubt and lovley to watch, as are they all!

Thanks Dotty, Avis & Heron. Glad you found it so punny!!

Great pics OB and very funny :-)))

Genius: Unfortunately, I have no children of my own nor do I have a potty.....that Ali knows about anyway! Her childeren, however, do think I'm nuts! Our grandson just agrees with all that I say so I can't be that mad!!

Bb: Cool or what! Was so funny watching him go up and down!!

Great pics and blog Oddbillie! I get excited if I see the odd bluetit. Don't get many fiches where I live.

Thanks DD but shame about the bird situation in your garden. What types of feeders/feed do you put out for them, if any?

Oh Oddbillie, I live a stones throw from the town centre so not exactly situated in the right environment for finches. I do have feeders with nuts and fat balls. The sparrows love them and I suppose, as there is a decline in the sparrow population, I'm doing my bit eh?....:o)

Absolutely stunning Dan, both photo`s and captions.......

You so ARE doing your bit DD. They say that the sparrow pop is on decline but we have loads here and a pair that have nested for 2 years in the guttering/under roof tiles, above the conservatory, A starling landed on the guttering early evening yesterday but the mother came out and screeched like mad and scared it off!

You can only do what you are doing and as you rightly say, you're doing your bit:0)

Thanks Oddbillie, I forgot to mention the blackbirds too. They wake me up every morning with a lovely song.....:o)

One of my favourites DD! Love their song as they shoot low across my garden each evening as I water my plants.

Them and Robins are magical to listen to when they sing.

Robins, the herald of winter. Lovely!

Love it whacky humour and great pics
