Home for nature

I came across an advert for the RSPB in a magazine yesterday entitled "If there's no home for nature"


I was particularly struck by the image of the starling overlooking a concrete jungle and I was reminded how lucky I am to have a garden to help nature along a bit.

I planted a delphinium in the garden the other day as they attract the bees and found this little bee yesterday busy doing what bees do!

I love to watch my garden visitors from my kitchen window and I have noticed this lovely little female blackbird has been a regular visitor to the bird table over the last couple of weeks. She has a poorly claw which stops her from putting her weight on it for more than a few seconds, and some of her feathers look a bit bedraggled so I'm not sure if she got herself  into a bit of a scrape. 


Another regular is this cute little fellow:


And this afternoon it was time for the big guns to arrive:

      I was thinking about naming the female blackbird as she always makes me feel happy when she comes to visit, I think I may name her Edie :)
