AND THEY'RE OFF!
My cheeky, noisy, naughty starlings who keep me amused with their antics and not to amused when they are bored and decided to pull the flowers out of my hanging baskets.
We have a large picture window in our living room that is nearly from floor to ceiling. Far from being a boring view though, I have ten feeders along the fence (Shane kindly built me a bracket to hang them all on) and behind the fence the beech trees and wild rose hedge, so there is always something to look at.
Before I descended on him, Shane only had Paddy the dog to contend with, who alas, died when I went back to Australia to pack.
Now, not only does he have to contend with a mildly eccentric wife, but four rescue cats, a feral cat who lives in the shed, the starlings, sparrows, wrens, robins, blackbirds, thrushes, dunnock's, ring necked doves, pigeons, coal tits, blue tits, great tits, occasional seagull and sparrow hawk and lastly the elusive Squirrels.
Plenty of room in our garden for a couple of goats and sheep.
NO!!! did I hear you shriek Mr.Killen?
