A busy time for the birds.

A very busy pied wagtail has been flying onto the ground near the house to collect moss for the nest. He is quite bold and struts about on the pebbles looking for various construction materials much to the annoyance of the cats. A constant swarm of young siskins have been gorging at the table and nut feeders. Baby chaffinches are being fed by the parent birds although they will open their beaks to any bird in the location.
The lambs are growing quite rapidly now and wander about quite freely at the top of the corkscrew road where there is very little traffic to worry them.
