I took this photo this morning (through the window so please forgive its lack of sharpness) of a Blackbird sitting on top of my feeding station, pecking at the apple which i have pushed onto the spike on top.
I was pleasantly surprised when viewing the photo, on my pc, to see there was a Robin, lower down on another feeder .
Ha ha...and now as I've just chosen which photo of the two I took, to upload onto GOY, I've noticed there is actually another bonus Robin! Can you spot him??

Awake stopped pitting food in the open tray on the feeder and, instead, now,only put see in the dome feeder which the pigeons can't access.it has stopped the pigeons visiting as much recently.

Yes,found the second one eventually (before reading Shirley's comment...) He's very well camouflaged isn’t he?

Took a lot of looking!

Yes.....I had seen the photo close up a few times before noticing him!

I needed Shirley's help.

Ha ha...well there's honesty!

Shirley's comment wasn't there when I first saw it so there was no help available! The second one is so easy to miss - he looks pretty much like one of the red leaves on the shrub.

And it's not a Particualrly clear photo as it was taken through the glass of the dining room window.

Ha ha.......well I clean them once every 18 months, whether they need it or not.
And I've only been here 14 months!

Took a bit of time. But I also found a spoon in the tree and a chair in the chimney.
As I kid I had fun doing that in Dr.'s offices.
I cant remember the name of the magazine. Does anybody?

Yep ... he's to the right of the saucer on the wall ... smashing little birds. I have moved the fat balls out of reach of a bully of a Pigeon ... but the smaller birds can still reach them.
