What to do ...<br /><br />Jeanne<br />xReading Tea Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928999793157507134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-33041462842411649312010-06-17T01:26:32.497+01:002010-06-17T01:26:32.497+01:00What a busy garden you have!

Our cat Max chased a squirrel off the garden yesterday - like Edward he's not fond of them either:)<br /><br />Lyn - it is the first time I've fed them all year too and I'm so glad I have - we have all sorts of birds popping in for refreshment:)<br /><br />Diane - what a shame about the baby blackbird and I'm sure that is why they asked about cats too - we have loads - they seem to love our garden because they can hide under all the plants - I've only ever seen one of them with a baby bird and we managed to get it off the cat (not ours) and put it in a box in the plum tree where the parents found it:)<br /><br />Simone - glad you like the new header. I haven't seen a hedgehog for ages but their is evidence we have one as we find droppings in the garden, even though the foxes pass through to next door where they are fed every night:)<br /><br />Valerie - I'd heard that sparrows were getting scarce but we have had loads in the garden watching them feeding their chicks on our feeder has given loads of pleasure - they are very good parents. The fox was probably one of lasat year's cubs it is one of several that come through our garden to get food from our next door neighbour:)<br /><br />Michela - it was quite a good session - I sat early evening - very quietly - and the birds were settling in the bushes in the garden and going to the feeders:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-73773197427928821822010-06-13T15:13:32.644+01:002010-06-13T15:13:32.644+01:00What a haul in only an hour!

At first I thought he was joking but it seems that this one time ubiquitous garden bird is getting scarcer. Maybe because people are getting rid of privet and hawthorn hedges?<br /><br />I envy your baby fox!Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-92216354189232982052010-06-12T19:09:25.723+01:002010-06-12T19:09:25.723+01:00Lovely new header Rosie!

I think that might be why they asked about cats. xxxxxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-44515537492561586532010-06-12T16:25:19.016+01:002010-06-12T16:25:19.016+01:00I love feeding the birds and this is the first yea...I love feeding the birds and this is the first year I have carried on after spring, the sparrow that we don't normally see are loving it!<br />Thanks for the link.<br />Love<br />Lyn<br />xxxLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548006686821838698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-64146823567331588772010-06-12T16:25:13.996+01:002010-06-12T16:25:13.996+01:00We are lucky to live with the animals around us, a...We are lucky to live with the animals around us, aren't we.
