Today on Day 27 I thought I would sit and observe the activity in the garden. Firstly I have to say this year we have had more birds than previous years visiting the garden and we are spending an absolute fortune on bird food - we don't mind though, they are almost like our wild pets with the same birds visiting each day.
We usually get sparrows, collared doves, wood pigeons, jackdaws and magpies, but the last few day we have seen more and more starlings visiting.
Here are some pics of our typical day in the garden...

 |
| A baby jackdaw getting fed... |
 |
| ...and isn't he cute! |
 |
| A collared dove, wood pigeon and jackdaw wait for the seed bowl to be refilled! |

| So how many starlings can fit in this dish? |
