I love watching the birds on our birdfeeder even though we only get sparrows, blackbirds and a robin or two. However a neighbours cat has taken to stalking them and I found it with a wood pidgeon in its mouth the other day in our garden - it looks as though I will have to stop feeding them so watch out for the cats.

We've at last bought a bird feeder plus seeds and hung it on the clothes post, near some roses. The birds have gone mad for it!
I've noticed it's all small birds and I'm not sure what they are. I recognise a few sparrows, but the majority are slim darting birds with a dark back and light breast. Any idea what they are?
There's also a very chubby wood pigeon which managed to knock the feeder down, he now feeds on the ground.
Very entertaining to watch.
