        Wow Loli, they really are green. Looks like the pears are coming along nicely too,

            Nice to see Loli, we have one adult occasionally visit but no young and next door has a long, high conifer hedge but they aren't nesting there!

              Mr Woody's family spend a lot of time in our garden. I would guess that, between them, they're on the feeder at least three hours a day. :blue thumb: :)

                    Lovely Shiney! You can see in the second picture just how strong their legs and claws are, perfect for clinging. :)

                      They're a very nervous bird and I had to take the photo from indoors, 60ft away. I'd love to get a close-up of them. :)

                          What are NOT flying or buzzing around this Buddleia are any bees or butterflies whatsoever. This is the first year I have ever known it to be like this:

                              Love the yellowhammer Strongy. :dbgrtmb:

                              Whenever I hear that beautiful lilting song, it lifts my spirits. One of the quintessential sounds of the English countryside in summer. :)
