04 Apr 2013 In the Garden
04th April 2013
As I didn’t manage to leave the house other than to go to the shops over the Easter holiday I had to make do with taking photographs in the garden or indoors.
Luckily I do have some bird feeders in the garden and although I’m not keen on taking photos of birds on the feeders sometimes you don’t have a choice.
House Sparrow
Having looked at the list of the top twenty five garden birds found in the recent RSPB garden survey I think I can safely say the birds we see in our garden are consistent with the list certainly up to 15th although I’ve never seen a feral pigeon actually in the garden..
