Making me smile

Spring is most definitely in the air as far as the birds are concerned. They are all in their very best and cleanest plumage and they come to the garden in pairs, except for the sparrows who come in their usual communal gang. I am now honoured by the regular visits of pairs of goldfinches, great tits, blue tits, blackbirds, hedge sparrows and magpies. There are also occasional visits by wrens and a robin (I haven't seen his 'wife' yet but I am sure she must be around somewhere). Because they all look so splendid I have cleaned the kitchen windows so that hopefully, I can get some photos of the goldfinches because they are really beautiful, particularly when the sun shines on them while they are on the feeder. My fingers are crossed for a few opportunities this week.
