The Bird Table

Since the last post nothing much has happened apart from us getting a bird table!

We got it at a garden center and it was reduced by 70% , what a deal!!!

I got some seeds and stuff for it, set it up in the back yard and have been watching it with camera in hand so I could get some pictures for this blog..........not managed to get one!!!!

we have had plenty of birds visiting, but NEVER WHEN I HAVE THE CAMERA HANDY!!!!

to date we have had 5 wild doves that have thrown birdseed all over the yard and pooped everywhere, two Magpies that made such a racket that I thought thay had got into the kitchen, some bluetits and sparrows that swoop in and out so fast that I only manage to get picture of the bird table and then there is the star of out show.....Rockie the robin, he is the only one that we have managed to get a picture of!

This is the picture Amie got of him this morning, he is a bit of a personality, he comes right up to the back door and looks at us, he is not affraid or anything, so my plan is to get my film camera setup and try and get a picture of him for our christmas cards this year, think it is a bit of a tall order, but worth a try!

In other news the number of people eating and enjoying the "Nelson Curry" is now up to seven, and so on the strength of this success i have decided to put up another of my recipies in the coming days.

Might be the "Andy's Easy Sweet 'N' Sour Chicken" or "Clements Christmas Cookies" (the cookies I make every year for Amies Grandparents, there name is Clements).

In even more news , my cousin is going to get married next summer, Way to go Dawn and Mike Congratulations from all over here.

Anyway that enough for now, I am thinking of doing a regular spot called "pictures on my wall" which will have my favorite photos posted, so watch this space!
