Most of the sweet peas that I sowed didn't survive but this one did:


There are a couple more that are yet to flower, I hope they will be as pretty as this one.


There has been a song thrush visiting my garden for the last few weeks but it moves so fast that it's nearly impossible to take a photo of it. Today I looked out of the window and saw it sitting on the fence. I had to go into the other room for my camera and was sure that it wouldn't be still on the fence when I got back but it was and I managed to get one decent shot of it:


I took about half a dozen photos before it flew away but each time the camera kept trying to focus on next door's washing lines or the shed which you can see in the background.

I bought some nyjer seeds to put in one of the birdfeeders so I'm waiting to see if they attract any different birds to my garden. I get lots of sparrows, starlings and blackbirds as well as collared doves and pigeons. There are also the occasional bluetit, coaltit and robin but I'd really like to see some greenfinches. I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Talk to you later,

Susan.
