Hi to everybody...had an excellent night and woke to a real misty winter's morning...had breakfast and looked out of the top floor window and couldn't believe my eyes...there is a very large flock of birds flying all around and over the back as well that includes blackbirds, starlings..which we've not seen around here before...blue tits, robins, sparrows, and pigeons out the back, plus magpies...they're all flitting around in the trees, on the roofs, on the ground and in the bushes...and three! pigeons landed on our small bird table and started eating the seed...did a discreet stand by the back door and they took off...wouldn't be anything at all left for the small birds if three of them had their fill...but the birds are back en masse...never seen anything like this before...there had to be at least eight blackbirds that we could see all in one place...seen one or two together but never that many...hmmm...strange world we live in, but this was a lovely surprise...![]()
So, that's my morning news...should have been up by 9, but got up at 10...have to get washed and dressed and wash my hair too, do the washing, make the bread, and turn the living room carpet because noticed yesterday evening that the spot where I've sat for the last ten years, my slippers are beginning to take the pile off the area so a turn around is required...![]()
That's it...hope you all have a good day, will see some sunshine and stay warm, and send great big hugs to one and all...

Good morning, Mala...
This wasn't a usual sight at all...a lovely experience...
We've got the bread rising, the washing is half way through and we're leaving the carpet until Wednesday when Ray is going to vacuum the house...
Have a great day too...

We've only seen pigeons so far on the bird table but at least the other birds will notice it now, and a blue tit has definitely been eating the fat ball, and I think a squirrel too looking at the state of one of them...LOL...just wish we could sit and watch them while having our breakfast and lunch...was just lovely to see that...
Have a great day, Tom...GBHs...XXX

LOL...flew down en masse...
Let's hope they do start using the bird table now and not just big fat pigeons...I was amazed that two could get on it but they did with one sitting on the roof awaiting its turn...
Have a great day, rubychoo...

No, it's still around, so hoping it keeps its jaws off of the birds from now on, but probably hoping for too much there...GBHs...XXX
