Saturday

Such a beautiful start to my day.  The Common, opposite where I live, was a pristine white. Looked like snow but was obviously frost.  My bird feeder was occupied by long-tailed tits and also a woodpecker.  Absolute delight.

Not long ago we had four different species of tit in our little West Putney garden at the same time: great tits, blue tits and a coal tit ... then a bunch of long tailed tits showed up. The show was spoilt when some noisy parakeets flew in and scared the others away.  Over the years I’ve counted over 30 different birds either in our garden or flying over it. The best one-off?  A sparrow hawk landed on the wall. That was several years ago.  Boy did that scare everything else away!

I wish I had had a camera and time the other day I was sitting in a cafe and two of the parakeets that usually are just a flash of green and a lot of noise were sitting in a tree and quietly eating berries.  Green and red - what a picture it would have been.
