beautiful birds

yesterday while sitting eating brekfast with the boys i was watching the birds in the garden and they were beautiful. they seemed so happy and they looked like they were eating aphids - fantastic!!

there were:

3 great tits
2 blue tits
1 robin
1 wren
2 or 3 blackbirds
3 brown things - starlings?

last week or the week before we also saw a mistle(sp?) thrush as well.

just thought - do you think some of them were birds that came, went and then came back again for more aphids?

i mean its still exciting whichever way you look at it... (altho the mirror does confuse the bluetit somewhat)

to clarify, all these birds were in the garden at the same time - this was what was so beautiful about it!

i moved the mirror last week. blue tits are restored to a life without confusion!

How exciting. I just love spring and watching birds out in the garden. sadly we don't get many birds in our garden because there are lots of cats around. we have taken to squirting the cats with water, but that is mainly because we are tired of them pooing in the flowerbeds.
