The male chaffinches are more colourful than the females and this little fellow with his pink chest came to visit me after I had been digging the vegetable plot in preparation for sowing some carrots, peas and salad leaves. I had a host of birds foraging including the robin, Mr & Mrs Blackbird and a collared dove and they all seemed quite happy to get on with each other. It's a shame the people of the world cannot follow their example as I've heard on the news today about terrorists being arrested in Australia and a bombing in Afghanistan killing 30 people and wounding over a 100. Where will it all end!
Thank goodness the birds give us so much pleasure that we can forget for a while the atrocities occurring throughout the world.
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and I often think about my colleagues from my nursing days who still have to work. Thank goodness for them
