Birds on the brain.

For the last month or so I have been leaving seeds outside on the window still at the head of my bed and finally the birds have noticed! In the morning I lie still on my tummy all snuggled and warm under my duvet and watch them bicker and squabble over the seeds. Every morning a few more seem to arrive. First up are the little birds, they wake me up bright and early chirping and fluffing away. Robins, Blue-tits, a couple Sparrows and a Grey-Wagtail have all attended the windowsill buffet. Then after about half an hour it's the blackbird's turn, followed shortly by the magpies, who frighten all my little birds away. Then this morning a Jay bird (British Jay not the american Blue Jay) joined my flock! I was so excited, my name-sake bird has always been my favourite! Then we finish with a big ol' thug of a Wood-pigeon - a fat little brat who sits and gorges for the rest of the day, occasionally cooing at me as I go about my day.


Apologies for the reflections on the glass but I couldn't resist sharing these little guys!
