We don't have them here. Our most common bird is the lowly house sparrow. There are a few phoebies too.

Good mornooning everyone. Yesterday was very, very wet and the house was so dark we spent a lot of time in the conservatory where it was brighter.
We also did a bit of shopping and I finally replaced my Kenwood Chef food mixer that died on me a few months back after 30 years of good service. I bought another Kenwood Chef as the attachments I have fit the new one.
Our garden was overrun with blut-its yesterday. This is the bird species we had trying to raise a family in our nest box. We have never seen so many in one go. Thee were a couple of dozen at least. They were on every feeder and in all the trees.

“Go away dad I’m sleeping here!”
I love using palm fronds over the cave openings. The tortoises seem to like it too.
Hey there Everyone! I LOVE watching birds!!! Used to have feeders of all sorts all over the garden but then we started getting visiting cats and one if them made himself at home and lived with us for the next 11-12 yrs and he was an avid hunter! I stopped feeding my birds once he brought me his kill and put on my door step. It just broke my heart that unknowingly I was setting my poor birds up for becoming my wild cat’s prey. Still have lots of birds here bcs there are lots of big old trees around the houses here, plenty of nesting places. There is a family of owls of some sort somewhere around my back yard I hear them almost every evening calling each other. Linda, I love it how you share your daily things with us here. I unfortunately can never keep up with a thread because of the randomness and scarcity of my participation, but really enjoy reading about your experiences the very little that I can. My love to All of you Guys out there! Enjoy your Sunday[emoji173]️

My modifications to the summertime burrow [emoji16]

That helps a lot thanks...so lets see if I've gotten this all straight... it's ok that I have this little beach bum that swims like a butterfly. I still always worry.He looks great Cathie.
He's really a special cutie. Those eyes say a lot. The smile on his face even more.
I love to watch chickidees. I haven't seen one for many years.The closest US equivalent to our t-its is a Chickadee.
House sparrows used to be very common here, but their numbers are declining
We have some come to our feeders, but fewer than there were in the past.
