Most of your birds look rather exotic to me and I would love to sit in your garden and see them all. I have 23 species that visit here and I'm pleased to say that after many years of having none at all I now have a male and female house sparrow!! I didn't realise how much I missed these little birds until they'd gone. I hope it's an indication that their numbers are picking up in this area again.
Very nice,..i agree with Frank that the snowy background adds to how attractive they are and as in Eileen's case i too am glad to see our Sparrows appearing.
Ah so that's where they went,..ours vanished for quite a spell but the Blue tits and Finches took over,..by the way we had our first arrivals of non resident Swans arrive yesterday,..ours are Mute Swans and the new arrivals can be heard hooting from the garden,..Whooper Swans so far but no Bewick.
