Yesterday morning we had a visiting redpoll - not very common in our garden- then, as if that wasn't good enough, a waxwing flew into the Bramley apple tree, and tucked into one of the remaining apples! Wish I could take photos like the amazing ones on the Blog, but never mind, it was a great sight nevertheless. We had a couple briefly 2 years ago, but otherwise haven't seen them here before.
Today, a brambling, so a good weekend!

Well done Sue!
ReplyDeleteDont worry about the photos Sue just enjoy as you obviously are. Thats what its all about
ReplyDeleteI agree with John enjoy it and post your sightings
ReplyDeleteThanks all - washing up is so much more fun in the winter as the window looking out onto garden is right by the kitchen sink - it can take hours though! Not really worrying about the photos - the memories are pretty good too - but love to see all of yours, so thanks for those.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Sue - keep the sightings coming!
