our garden birds

we have been quite busy over the last few months doing some major improvements to the house, now that we are ( nearly finished ) i can start to enjoy our garden birds once again, quite a lot going on at the minute, despite having 2 robin boxes in the garden they have decided to nest in the ivy on the back fence, the bluetits are in the box but they seem to just come one day and then you don't see them near the box for 1 or 2 days then they are in and out of the box again, the collared doves are nesting at the top of our large conifer, and the blackbirds a little lower down, plenty sparrows at the moment but none are nesting nearby, managed to take a few photos tonight.

missy

she is now 9 months old and has just come into season, we have bought her a pair of those doggy knickers which she wears when she goes to bed, our bed that is, she has decided that she wants all of our creature comforts which includes our heated water bed, we don't think we will breed from her and we'll probably have her spayed before she next comes into season,

the one that got away

was quite amazed to see this lady in the garden on christmas morning,

our 2 new pups

our 2 little shorkies, the white one we have called sasha fierce and the brown one is cassie- tzu, their mother is a yorkshire terrier and the father a shitzu, our missy thinks they are hers.

a few photos i took today.

enjoying the pie

the sheppies and the magpies certainly take after their name, they can't get enough of these home made pies, ( they must have been born and bred in wigan )
