They've been on the lawn all day - looks weird watching them feed amongst the chaffinches and blackbirds.

Hi Sandra, they stay here all the time but usually amongst the reeds on the pond but that's frozen, poor things.

Their nests are perfect arent they Amy - reeds all inter-laced :-) and the chicks are just soooo cute.

I agree Clarice, I keep thinking of the poor things out there, all night and day in the freezing cold :-(

Makes two of us, i was saying to Jacque yesterday the little birds have got no fat on them to keep themselves warm have they, i have got plenty of rooster nest in garden but i dont think they use them although there is some bedding in them so not to sure.

I have 3 of those too Clarice. I dont see them use them but maybe they sneak in after dark. Mine are only standard though, with your bedding you're are more luxury suites. :-)

its only pet straw i got last year and put it in for them, as mine are only cheap roosting nest. :))

I got mine really cheap too Clarice from B&Q. I put the biscuit crumbs out for them :-) My biggest job is keeping Bonnie from hoovering all the food up - you know how greedy labradors are.

Thats true but labs ae such a lovely breed of dog are'nt they.

Yes Clarice, I couldnt ask for anymore from a dog than Bonnie.
The moorhens are still hungry, bless, they've taken over the garden now as the pond is frozen.
