I saw something very sweet this morning

I look forward to little tweetings from the birdbox in a few weeks time.

Aaah, I like that *jingle]

Cute

Oh that is lovely jings sooooo sweet.

I have a chrome water feature at the bottom of my garden (one of those that look like a big polished ball) and because of the rats with wings seagulls we don't get too many garden birds, but yesterday DH and I were mesmerized watching a starling walk round and round the dome looking at his/her reflection stopping periodically to take a drink.

aw

What isn't very cute is a large fat wood pigeon that seems to have gone to sleep in our birdbath!it is sitting there fatly and has dozed off in the sunshine.

We do seem to have a few feathery imprints of wings on some windows, so it must be attack a rival time (silly things) last week there were two dead birds on the patio, sparrows, so Mr Roses put them at the back of a shrub, and an hour later they had gone, so were only stunned not dead after all.

Apparently sometimes they think a window isn't there and attempt to fly through it. We used to get collared doves regularly crashing into our dining room window but they all seemed to recover (i.e. no bodies found!)

A good excuse then, not to keep the windows too clean!

We once had workmen at our house for almost a day, replacing the large, Georgian style window with a one paned picture window. All the time the window was olut, the cat was coming in and out through the gap. Just after they finished putting the new window in, she jumped up to come in again, and slammed right into the glass! Apart from looking very surprised (and annoyed!) she was fine.
