Bird in hand 1

In a word: WOW! :-0

He is gorgeous. So pleased Jane - you have a job for life now, lol. A think we'll need to bulk buy mealworms at this rate.

This bird is really cute. And so near!

Thanksyou all...it feels like a real privilege and a responsibility too.When back at work will only be able to hand feed twice a day instead of four times as am doing now !
Cannot explain the feeling .....

He's gorgeous and so brave..............how about the little squirrels Jane...do we hear the p[atter of tiny feet yet?

Thanks Janey..expect squirrel babies to be making an appearance around beginning of May if calculated right dates ! Cant wait to see them ! : )

Did it take a long time to get his confidence Jane? What an achievement! :-)

Just gone to photo's 2 & 3 and see you have put there how you did this. :)

Oh well done Bonkers.......I bet that makes you feel special........what a treat for you.............

Thats great.....Robins get very tame dont they... i have had a Robin fly onto my hand to take food.. and hop off they are as light as a feather....

Thank you Milky - had to do something while off line for those days ! Back at school next week so he ll have to get used to me in mornings and evenings only , better start the training now .lol

Thanks Hollyeves its great isnt it .. yes they must weigh only an ounce or less oh was it you with the white wading birds on the beach ? we thought they may be Sanderlings if you have a chance to look at Elkes latest blog she has some great close up pics of them.

Ok BB... thanks i will have a look.....................

Just had a look at Elkes photos on beach... Yes i think they are sanderlings that we have here.......she took some great pics.....

She did...: )

BB: I've been using your trick during the days I've been at work all day - hide the mealworms from the bigger birds and hope they last a while.

Still works in hollow apple trunk Sawn...at least not noticed any fat blackbirds struggling in there !

Ha ha, I dont have any fat blackbirds either. The robins seems to have a few more brain cells than the others, lol, which is great as they remember where to find the hidden mealworms :)

Good one Dawn...did John stay awake after his full English ! Bet he didnt !!!

He did actually Ray ... I have to keep him well fed so I get lots of work out of him, lol.

OMG Bet hes so jealous of Milkys Ray...sees those pics of him and thinks "oh I wish " LOL

One day, one day, lol. Actually, he's on the sofa next to me now, in Milky's "Sleeping Partner" mode. It catches up eventually, wait a minute ... where's the camera, ha ha.

Oh the penny drops ..I m now terrified of sleeping in case Jane posts one of me thats how you ladies keep us concious and working ..nod off and you ll appear on Goy ..scary lol

Ha ha, you've got it.
