The birds are back again

[watervole]

I've been missing my garden birds for most of the summer. The seed feeders have hung there untouched and the garden has felt really empty. temeres (who knows far more about birds than I do) said that they'd probably return w
hen the hot dry weather ended, and he was right.

The last few days have been a big change. I actually had to refill one of the feeders (when they were being used heavily last year, I was refilling them every few days) and the peanut feeder is being used after being ignored for six mont
hs (which is when we put it up).

We've got blue tits and great tits and sparrows (seven so far) and the starlings are back and a robin and I can even put up with the pidgeon.

Dish washing is so much more interesting when I can watch the birds while I work.

Re: Fancy meeting you here

Just a bit! He sounds bloody excellent - they both do - from glancing through what you've been writing. Mind you, he was pretty damn fine at four months - almost made me want one... although I can't say I regret sticking to the furry kind.

I'm both blown away at the thought of meeting up again, and a little ashamed of the ghastly mess I've made of the intervening years, but I'll tell you all that when I see you... it may take a few days on account of I just inherited another dog who can't really be left alone at home yet. But I'll ring tomorrow.
