Things are getting better

Morning all
           Things are getting better but this means the birds are coming to my garden a lot more now. Three weeks ago apart from pigeons I hardly had any birds in the garden, this had been going on for a number of years. three weeks ago I set up a feeding stations (their words) and after a few day some birds visited the garden. It seems that they are getting used to the place as they don't always fly away (as much) when I go out there.

For a couple of weeks I have been trying to photograph a Magpie but I have never been quick enough to catch him, until this morning. He was standing on the "feeding station" and gave me time to fetch my camera. I got a few shots before he jumped on the to bird table. One problem, he kept his back to me. He did turn round on his side and I got a lucky shot. I have picked out these two. Sorry I can't get rid of the reflection in the window.

Now since I put up the feeders I have not had any birds going near to the peanuts until this morning when a Starling decided to try them out, I changed the feeder that they were in so that now they get a better grip on the sides .

I said I would be back!

After lunch I was messing around cleaning this and that when I went out into the garden, wow, there was a few cloud formations that needed to be photographed. Here they are I hope that you like them.
