Although the garden itself produces a lot of food for the birds as such, they still love coming to the bird feeder.
They certainly have 'eating hours' and many of them are there all at once.
Soon they will be starting making nests, using all kinds of stuff that people or the wind have blown around. It is amazing to study a nest and see how they use moss, pieces of thread, plastic, and make it into a warm place.
The picture is a detail of a spring miniquilt. It was an attempt to use beads and free style embroidery.
The beak is the most minute piece of purple silk. Once you get going on such a project you cannot stop!
The supermarket has all its Easter goodies on display, so early in the year. My Christmas lights are still up on the facade. Time flies ..... like the birds.
It is difficult to resist the colourful bags full of praliné eggs. They soon vanish in this house! This is what is left over from a bowl which was filled to the top ..... Yesterday I got a new bag and I wonder how many more of those will follow before it is Easter.
The red robin visits many a time during the day, and way into dawn. Someone told me once there is only one robin in a certain area, but I see two. They certainly fight, and this little round ball is not friendly to the other small birds either. Taking a picture through the window does not give the best result, but who can resist it when it is so close?
He does look me straight in the eye, with his black charcoal eyes. A darling!
Bird watching is so fascinating. We can see the bird feeder from all corners from both our living and dining room, such a joy.
Happy day! Happy bird watching!
