We’re coming to the time of year when I am beginning to hear the birds in the mornings and evenings. I’m going to enjoy it while the morning chorus is at a reasonable time because at our latitude, this slips earlier and earlier until you’re having the wonders of nature forced on you at 4:00am with the dawn light brightening in your eyes for good measure.
One of the birds that I see around much more often in the winter is the robin, a common, but handsome bird that tends to follow me about when I’m doing the winter clearing.
I’m looking forward to when the risk of frost has pretty much gone and we can take down the greenhouses that have been in front of the patio windows, blocking the view. We’ll be able to see our seed feeder again and resume watching the birds jostling for their turn at the feeder and bathing in the bath.
