The birds! They are here.......!!!!

Oh yes...the delight, the satisfaction and those lovely little tweetie things that mean no harm in this lovely fluffy world!!

Let me explain dear reader - not some three weeks ago, your writer had noticed that our stuck on bird feeder on the window of Gordon Towers had fallen to the ground below (GT is on the second/top floor). This has happened before, and said bird feeder has been retrieved and refastened. But not this time...oh no. It could be a neighbour (2/1 fav) or a big bird (6/1) or even a cunning fox (10/1)....but it was taken, never to be seen again.

So Mrs G went to the garden centre to find another one - although not the exact style (apparently there are reports that those ones fall off alot!). Having purchased intended item, we returned home and stuck on the new one. But nothing and no one came. Had they been scared away by aforementioned possibilities (2/1 odds still stand)? And, in the end, I suspected that we would never see a fluttery, fluffy birdy ever again on our little feeder. But then, today, at 7.23am.....Mrs G emailed furiously (its a unique style) to notify me that three blue tits were back in residence and feeding happily....

What relief, what joy......we are doing good in the world again.

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag.

love
