There must be a nest of thrushes about as almost daily one is pranching about the lawn. A family of wrens has returned - funny little bird, a bit like a feathered ping-pong ball on two thin bits of wire.<BR/>For a few years in the recent past, the local area has been plagued by a couple of magpies - savage birds, which scare other bird species to take shelter.<BR/>I once had a green woodpecker do a fleeting visit..stayed for about a minute and then flew off. That was about 8 years ago. Flying about in people's gardens seemed incongruent to its normal habitat..so I am unable to explain why it found one of my trees so attractive.<BR/>The bird visitors seem unaffected by my roaming cats, although Spikey and William catch an odd pigeon to supplement their Tesco's 'Chunky Meat Bits in Gravy'.<BR/>Talking about cat food, why do they have flavours such as 'beef' - I've never seen a cat stalking a cow yet!Ken Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719906304442070128noreply@blogger.com
