The Siskins were the 36th bird species I have seen in or over my garden during the 9 years I have lived here.
I was delighted to see them and fingers crossed I will see more soon.
My log feeder has also had a new visitor.
A male House Sparrow became the 7th bird species to feed on it.

He was enjoying it so much he was shouting to all his mates.
Robin has taken a shine to the new feeders...
This solitary Starling has been hanging around for a couple of weeks now.
Lovely birds to see up close.
A quick update on my knees... I had an appointment this morning with the physiotherapist and she was so delighted with my progress she doesn't need to see me again. I have to keep up the exercises to build up muscle strength but she trusts me to keep it up (and I will).
My knees are still pretty painful and I do stiffen up if I sit down for any length of time.
Being back at work in a sitting down job isn't ideal but they don't mind me going off for a wander about every time I feel that I need to... I just hope the pain eases a bit sooner rather than later.

Beautiful weekend.
Greetings.
lucky you to get siskins in your garden - my garden birds seem to be slowly coming back in - getting some trees planted soon so hopefully that will help
ReplyDeleteThis starling looks like he is in bad mood...looks awfully stern yet so pretty. Love all the little white spots. So glad to hear your knees are continuing to improve. I have always heard doing the PT exercises is the key to a good recovery. Sounds like you have it all in good order. genie
ReplyDeleteLove ALL the birds!! The starling's marking is so pretty...
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the update on your knees too - great to hear your physiotherapist is pleased!!!
Huh, I thought the siskins finches.
