Since having my knee replaced ten weeks ago I've just had the usual suspects in the garden feeding (sparrows, starlings, gold & green finches and a couple of Dunnocks) but today it seems some of the old favorites are back! In one half hour slot this morning I saw not only the wren that's been missing for months, but the robins and Nuthatch too. What a pleasant morning that made

with the only exception being the juvenile goldfinch who tried to fly through the patio window, with a bit of a bang, shook his head and went again!

Nice one Jeanette. I love nuthatches, but never get them in our garden.

Hope the knee mends well

Hi Jonners, I'm very pleased to be able to say they came quite often earlier in the year but stopped for about 6 months, but now they're back and I'm loving it!!

thanks for the kind comments Big Bill, it does seem that I'm destined to spend hours in and around the garden with the old leg recovering.

Hi from another "kneeite". Hope you have a good day - the forecast is good. I have chairs placed around the garden so I can just sit in between doing things, and always take my camera with me. It's surprising what turns up! Now I have time to sit and look I see a lot more. Take it easy and you'll be dancing by Christmas!!
