blue tits not nesting yet
Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:32:48 +0100
Despite seeing quite a few blue tits visiting the feeders, there has been no

Thanks.

One of my wooly socks fell off the cloths line. A magpie pinched it.
Last year my doormat was taken for nesting material. This year the
nest will be more comfortable.

And at ¡ê14.99. No doubt with the usual rather distant closest focus and
stiff adjustment. But at a price to have a pair on each garden-facing
windowsill!

It was very tame and ...
