I think sparrows can look rather plain until you take a closer look, the same with starlings, but they're actually very beautiful.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-63673363989748897222015-02-27T17:36:16.629+00:002015-02-27T17:36:16.629+00:00What a grand idea to purchase a plant to bloom eac...What a grand idea to purchase a plant to bloom each month.

That's brilliant news about your nest box, especially so soon after putting it up. I've had one up for quite a few years but the birds have never taken an interest in it. It's recently fallen apart so i've just bought a new one to try again.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-35305424471896262112015-02-24T21:16:18.289+00:002015-02-24T21:16:18.289+00:00Images to treasure and look back on Jo.

Good news on the bird front for me: it looks as if a pair of Tits may have decided to nest in the nesting-box I constructed the other day.
