The garden is playing host to new birds at the moment. I think they are just passing through. I am still trying to ID them so bear with me and when I know what they are I will let you know too.
This was the first to appear.
It is about the same size as a Blackbird, it arrived yesterday on it's own.
Today two of them were in the garden.
Then today Tony spotted some more slightly different birds in the garden,
The colour and throat markings on this one made me think it might be a Redwing. I just could not get a shot or a clear view of the underside of its wings to look for red patches.
This bird was a different colour to the one above, however it could be from the same family looking at the throat markings. This one is also smaller than the one above.
The photo's are not very clear they were taken from the kitchen window. The birds could be related to the thrush family. I have sent the pictures to a website to see if I can get them ID'd.
This is Lynsey with her new cat Biscuit.
Lynsey still has her cat Pepper, who is not overjoyed with having another cat moving in to compete with. She discovered Biscuit living in a hedge outside her house a while back. Lynsey said he did not look old enough to be away from his mother. At first the kitten would not go to her, however she continued to coax him and eventually managed to bring him inside. Lynsey moved home a couple of weeks ago Biscuit moved with her and Pepper. Biscuit is very timid, he will continue to be a house cat. Pepper is getting use to the idea but gives Biscuit a slap on the nose now and again just to remind him who the boss is. Biscuit doesn't really care.
Pepper had to draw the line somewhere.
Until the next time...
