At Last! Not my best pictures but here are the goldfinches. I managed to get these from the kitchen window at around 7pm yesterday.

Goldfinch

Spotted a pair of Goldfinch twice yesterday and once so far today. They are the most colourful garden birds to be using the bird feeders at the moment. I have had my camera ready but still not managed to get a snap. I will keep trying and post as soon as I do get a picture.

Yesterday Easter Sunday, Ken was delighted to see that the swallows had returned. I was quite pleased but I did think about my washing!

What a surprise. I thought about tidying the garden and found this pea hen sitting.

At least she has saved me from a very cold job today.

We'll watch her progress and keep you informed.

lambing

We have just finished a successful lambing period and will not have to get up during the night.

The lambs are all lovely and I wish they would stay like they are forever!
