But you feel bad if you don't carry on!<br /><br />Having cats and chickens we don't see a huge amount of birds in the garden. We have a hedgerow at the bottom of the garden and robins are frequent guests in there, and of course we have tons of pheasants and hedgehogs. <br /><br />But no birds of prey or many bird varieties despite all the chicken feed and grain around the garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-19895749102955630422010-04-07T20:38:43.380+01:002010-04-07T20:38:43.380+01:00Lovely photos!

Unfortunately it got damaged when it was used to jemmy open the patio doors, and after clearing up after the burglars, I never got round to replacing it - although I think a I may go for a wooden bird table this time!!Zannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327026800056088954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-17230016146480258432010-04-07T16:04:55.627+01:002010-04-07T16:04:55.627+01:00Love all your wildlife.

I wonder if sparrowhawks are on the increase since the owner of a house I cleaned yesterday was telling of a sparrowhawk in his garden at the weekend.menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-89041570590184608322010-04-07T11:01:16.471+01:002010-04-07T11:01:16.471+01:00Oh my word!

No...make that envious! I know my husband would have something to say if rabbits came around but I'm sure he'd love to have feathered friends.
