I keep track of birds tat visit our garden but none as as exotic as the ones you've shown us - bullfinch, goldfinch and greater spotted woodpeckers are the 'best' we see.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous treat of a post April. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWant to keep looking at the indigo bunting. There's something very captivating about her.
"....but what guides us home and where we come to land." beautiful.
Given the ice and the snow you've had this week, it must be warming to look at all these visitors who'll come by soon enough:)
