A Very Welcome Visitor....:))

This is a first for us...With four cats, the Birds do not venture off the Fence...
Since OH built the Rustic Climbing Frame Blackbirds and Robins now sit on the top until its safe to drink or bathe...

Thanks Paul...OH took this shot through the window, so he would not disturb her....
It is a treat for us...and in the Woodland too...such a bonus...

love those grass panicles too :))))))))))))))))

25 Oct, 2011

 

All survived the two frosts we've had, but I'm keeping an eye on them, don't want to cut them back before time....

Great pic Sue! Our birds are same..sit up in the trees etc waiting for Suki to go in! lol She sits under the Cosmos..which I hvae moved now..so she has no hiding place!

It's really amazing how the birds feel safer on the Frame, and they can fly off quick if any of the cats get interested...

25 Oct, 2011

 

Yep! Just had a pair of bluetits at the peanuts..i love them..my fav bird :)

25 Oct, 2011

 

We're going to get our feeders out and sort something out on the top for the Birds...

25 Oct, 2011

 

Cool! :)

Lovely shot, love that grass it looks like one I have in a pot. Must remember though mine is not v.hardy.

25 Oct, 2011

 

I don't think mine are either B...just keeping watch at the mo....
Isn't she bright eyed and beautiful...:)))

25 Oct, 2011

 

Certainly is - lovely.

What a bonus Crissue...not only a lovely arch, but now you have birds! :)))

25 Oct, 2011

 

I know, can't quite believe it Karen...have watched the birds in the trees, on our Fence, etc, but never in the bird bath....Mind you we're on Cat patrol, to make sure they are safe....:)))

Oh no, now you have garden-bird anxiety disorder!! :)))

26 Oct, 2011

 

possibly lol....:))

26 Oct, 2011

 

I have that too and it's very debilitating.....especially during the spring time! lol I was relieved that they didn't nest here this year!!

26 Oct, 2011

 

Oh don't I don't think my nerves could take it....If they nest in our Standards or the new Cherry, the cats can't get up, or OH would collar the tree...What about the little Jenny Wrens, they like being low, in like Hydrangeas etc...brave little souls....:)))

26 Oct, 2011

 

I saw one in my garden today....gorgeous little things!

26 Oct, 2011

 

Haven't seen one since we moved here, but they're little darlings...:)))

lovely shot, with the softness of the grass seed heads.

27 Oct, 2011

 

Thanks Lulu and hello....:)))

27 Oct, 2011

 

A big 'Hello' back at ya!

Smashing picture Crissue....birds and cats just don't mix do they. My cats come indoors at 4pm. I don't let them out at night. I put the bird feed out as soon as I know they are indoors. Funny how the birds seem to know it's time :)

Always a pleasure to see the birds in the garden...

27 Oct, 2011

 

Ours are in at night too, but not so early Scottish.....now the nights are drawing in they do stay in more at night, but the eldest two from Spring through to Autumn, sleep out...
DD it is a pleasure to see the birds in the garden, hope to see a lot more, as long as they're safe...:)))

Pretty pic... what is the feather plant at the front ?

28 Oct, 2011

 

Pennisteum 'Sky Rocket' T....still going strong, keeping an eye on it though, quite protected in that corner...

28 Oct, 2011

 

Very lovely :o)

28 Oct, 2011

 

Thanks...:))

28 Oct, 2011

 

Beautiful shot and I love that grass. ;)

Hi Kimberley, that shot is rare, with four cats in the Household...but happy to say, they like the Grasses, and ferns for a little coverage...while they drink or bathe, saw a Robin this morning, and a Great Tit...
Glad you like it...
