THE GARDEN BIRDTABLE

Today I was off school sick so I passed the time knocking up a makeshift birdtable to photograph my garden friends. Here are some of the results.

The Usual Crew Are Worth a Look Too

In our garden here in Villanueva de la Vera we put out food for the birds, especially in winter when the times are hardest. The ones who come are the usual crew but Siskins, Dunnocks and Sardinian Warblers have also dropped in from time to time. But the "usual crew" are worth a look too and we love to watch the titmice feeding so acrobatically from the hanging coconuts. Robins often glean the ground below them to pick up the coconut shrapnel. The photos show a Great Tit hanging from the coconut and a nearby Blue Tit waiting its turn on our pear tree.
