Lovely to see the Blackbirds returning to the gardens. We have three males and two females.

Thank you girls, I was just there when he was!
I only have one pair Linda, I'm sure they're the ones that nest every year. You do well with having so many and no fighting?

Oh yes, they have a go at one another now and again.

Saw a Goldcrest today Linda, was out walking by tall conifers, and there it was! As soon as it had come, it was gone, but such a treat to see..:))

Oh Janey they are so sweet. We see one now and again on our walks but they are so small and quick, a blink and they're gone. We get Goldfinches around here, Buzzards, a Raven, Crows, a Wren, Jackdaws, Blackbirds, Sparrows, Hedge Sparrows the Robin but we haven't seen the Mistle thrush yet. Saw Fieldfares yesterday feeding on holly berries. Haven't seen the Blue tits yet either.

They do love apples don't they Amy. I do the same, it's always the two blackbirds that are really enjoying them :)) x
