Amy hasn't come back.

 

But a moorhen has appeared. In our little pond. She's been around a couple of days now. Well, I say she, I actually have no idea of whether it is a (s)he or what.

 

But it is definately a moorhen.

 

The photos aren't good 'cos I took them through the window - (s)he's pretty nervous and I can't get pictures outside.

 

We woke up this morning and looked out of the bedroom window to see the moorhen eating underneath the bird feeders, and a woodpecker on one of the feeders - he is a very occasional visitor, and a lovely colour, so we are always pleased to see him.

 

Oh, and the jackdaws are nesting in next doors chimney. Its a holiday home and they never seem to be here, so the birds shouldn't come to any harm with a bit of luck. They nested there last year and were OK - we watched the young.

I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures - they were all taken through windows!

There must be something in the name, Richard, because I'm a bit of a bird magnet too. My visitors are hen pheasants. There are usually a couple waiting for me in the garden in the morning. They come running up to me when I go out to see the chickens and ducks - tho they don't come too close. A couple of months ago we had 14 of them (yes, fourteen) in the garden. One has worked out how to get onto the bird table. :roll:

We had one of these darlings appear last year under our bird table,foraging for seeds.

Mr Pheasant also sqawked one morning to announce his arrival- all pre chooks though,so don't know if we'll have a return visit.
