Bird Watching, Eryngium and Callianthus

The birds have been busy today in the sunshine. The Eryngium are finished being blue but I do like how they die and the Callianthus are coming into their own.

Eggs, Visitor and Bullfinch

We were given six of the beautiful eggs yesterday and here they are in our egg holder before we had two poached for breakfast.

Our visiting cat showed up today, a Bengal with glorious markings. He never hangs around for long.

I love the colours of the bullfinch.

Garden Birds in Cold Cornwall

A bitter Easterly wind is battering us all again with snow already up-country and coming our way, in the far South West,  tomorrow. The bird feeders have been very busy as if the birds know what’s coming and are stockpiling the food. We had to refill a second time today.

There were Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Blue Tits and Great Tits, Sparrows, Dunnocks and Pigeons, Blackbirds and Rooks as well as the ones I managed to catch on camera, shown below. It’s a pity it wasn’t the RSPB Great Bird Watch today!
