I woke up this morning feeling awake, well rested and cosy in my bed. Autumn is very much upon us now, I looked out of the bedroom window and noticed that the leaves on a couple of the trees in our road are very definitely turning now. I love this time of year. The birds in the garden are getting through vast quantities of birdseed, I seem to be filling up the feeders all the time!! But it's nice to see them enjoying our little urban garden.
When we first moved to Brum, I was disappointed at the variety of garden birds. When we lived in Swansea we had a large garden, with some big mature trees at the back. We frequently saw various tits (bluetits, great tits, coal tits, sometimes long tailed tits), finches (chaffinches and greenfinches), as well as a pair of nuthatches and we even had a treecreeper a few times and I saw a couple of goldcrests once or twice. Here it's mostly sparrows, a few bluetits and the occasional greenfinch. But it's still nice to see them enjoying the garden and the birdbath (may post a photo later) :o)
