As to garden birds, I saw the reports and photos of the Black Redstart that's been in/around gardens in Leighton Buzzard all February. I wouldn't say no to one of those here...Lucy @ A Natural Interludehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239907920826512177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874064958782474931.post-60115653062969373892018-02-24T19:31:07.913+00:002018-02-24T19:31:07.913+00:00Thanks for dropping by Marc.

They were a regular bird along the Bulbourne in Hemel but only occasional to the garden.

It brings home the importance of such activity when completely unexpected visitors are always a possibility. A Greenfinch would be "bird of the year" in 2018, such is the current status of the species on Thanet. If the garden feeders are your only link with the outdoors, then keep them filled and your eyes open, the possibilities are endless, the encounters always very personal.<br />Like Steve, I also look forward to the coming warmth and the change of seasons - hoping that your health improves with the passing of time.
