How lovely that he's returned to you. Haven't seen mine in the garden but I hear them over by the pond along with the ducks.

How lovely, I only see them in the wild on lakes etc. Kind of lucky we don't have one of these really as the dogs would go crazy, pheasants and moorhens.............naughty pups! great to see though.

Glad he's back, i'm not getting as many birds as i use to, think its because Tillk & Jack are always in garden, they've not managed to get any of them yet (thankgoodness) but Donna's cat and the cat that lives next door to her are about 3-4yrs old and they do catch birds and are always in my garden. hope you keeping ok.xx

Nice to have a Moorhen in your garden , hope he becomes a regular visitor. I saw a Bullfinch this moorning tucking into the food Id put out, but by the time I ran to get my camera he had gone!

dont you just hate that carole, runnibg for camera then nothing grrr, i put some wholemeal bread out for him so think he will be back again :o)

Hope so Sandra, I sometimes think I should enjoy watching the birds rather than running for the camera and then missing them'0)

probably true carole, depending on the bird now i wait and see, if like the moorhen i think its hanging around for a while i go get the camera but if its a flighty bird i just enjoy now and hope i have my camera another day lol

Lovely to see the Moorhens about. Was he pecking at the grass?

hi karen nice to see you back, yes i love to see the birds to, makes me feel like spring is on the way, my garden quite wet to after lots of showery spells, i just try to ignore it lol :o))
Tog, we live in a rural village with lots of ponds and also a wildlife/bird reserve, marshy land there, so plenty of ducks etc :o)
linda he was pecking about the grass and near the pond for grubs etc, they eat snails to :o)
