Nature on the go ....

Some ladies may remember my story of Willy Wagtails nesting last year ?
The 1st nest fell apart as they had not secured it, the 2nd had 2 babies and the 3rd had triplets.
This year they have again built in one of my pot plants but have secured it to a branch !
Three eggs can be seen.  Isn't nature a delight ?
Hope this brings a bit of cheer to your day.




  • We also have willy wag tails visit and when my partner is in HIS shed working willie walks straight in sits on the nearest thing he can find and watches my partner keeps on doing what he was doing, I have a bird bath in both the front and back gardens, I also have a weeping mulberry that is fruiting at the moment to the delight of the bird life who love fossicking around and eating the fruit, it is one of the joys of my life to sit and watch the antics of these and other birds in the garden, and how cool would it be if the willy wagtails were my parents and grandparents popping in to make sure all is okay,its a lovely thought and will remember, on the day of my sons wedding just at the beginning of the service a sea gull flew gracefully in and stood by for about 5 minutes, I had hoped that it might be my dad making an appearance at his beloved grandsons wedding!!! well that was my thinking!!!, 
    cancer of any kind gives you a new perspective and I now find that I can live in and enjoy "the moment",

  • Hi @wendy55
    Yes, as Soldier Crab said, I am now thinking it is my Mum visiting me as the timing is the month when she passed.
    Whatever we think, as long as it is good thoughts, cannot hurt, eh ?
    I have always loved nature and like you have several bird baths and feeders.  They bring so much joy with their antics.  My neighbour hates magpies but I love them and get lots of pleasure watching them in our big trees.
    As you say, we tend to treasure every moment now.
    Keep well.
    Summer   :)
