Good Morning Everyone.  Very chuffed indeed with this one:http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/gallery/117/612465Thanks and it's nice to be back. x

Anyone want to play the three word game, I start with three words and then the next one adds three more.While I was........

.....a handsome male chaffinch has taken residence and is singing almost non stop from the break of dawn to sunset, ie. pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink......I could go on!He's got quite a set of lungs on him and it's actually started to get quite annoying now! LOL How he's got the energy and not worn out his little cheep box I don't know. There is a healthy population of chaffinches in the area but I've never heard this relentless call before. It's definitely the same bird. I'm just wondering why he feels the need to sing continually.

I know this forum is blessed with some fellow red heads, so an article in one of the Sunday rags has prompted me to ask the question......'Have you ever suffered abuse or discrimination because of the colour of your hair or are you one of those people who thinks it's fair game to take the mick out of Gingas (as it's just a bit of fun)?'Over 44 years I've morphed from a full on ginger with green eyes to a darker auburn. 

We have recently bought large Lavender plants, and put them around one side of our little lawn.  There are some Aubretia plants too, and a collection of well established herbs and well loved perennial plants.For some reason the Starlings have taken to pecking off the new growth of Lavender and Aubretia and flying off with them.  They cannot be building nests now, and if they were, why Lavender?  They are making a real mess!Anyone have any idea why they are doing this?

Can anyone tell me what this little fellow is please

Thank you Glynis for a great day, the weather stayed dry, and it was well organised, shame more didn't attend, but never mind, for those who didn't make it, this is just one of the many birds we saw yesterday, thanks once again Glynis  :-)

Anyone else had this lately?Best regards,StevePS  The photo that wouldn't load before has loaded, but rotated 90deg.  I await developments.
