Spring and sunshine

Patio doors open as the sun shines in the north west of the UK. Able to take better photographs without disturbing the birds. Photographs confirmed the sparrows that visit (about 10) enjoy the dust baths in what I'm trying to turn into a vegetable patch. That will have to stop! :-)

The Two male Eurasian Blackbirds (Common Blackbirds in UK) are quite different; one, the religious one, has a white collar; the other is, as you would expect, completely black.

Our visiting Wood Pigeons, 3 max at any time, are busy mating on the fence. The Eurasian Collared Doves (4 max at any time) are equally frisky but, none while watching today.
