Interesting about the yellow feeder. I have only seen one goldfinch here at our cottage. Maybe I should give this a try and see if I can attract more. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-22734826882851902482015-05-09T07:09:25.561-04:002015-05-09T07:09:25.561-04:00What a lovely story about the yellow feeders and y...What a lovely story about the yellow feeders and your visiting goldfinches singing with your canary.

I love your pictures Wendy it's always interesting to see the wildlife from your part of the world. It's hard when our pets age and it's a shame Cody howls when you leave aw bless him he must love you so much, but he's still fit Wendy and could live for many years yet. Ferns are beautiful when they first start to emerge after their winter sleep I have a huge one at the bottom of my garden and I love it. Have a lovely weekend. :) xxxlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-17291661075862243302015-05-09T02:38:40.559-04:002015-05-09T02:38:40.559-04:00How interesting to see spring in your part of the ...How interesting to see spring in your part of the world, Wendy. I didn't know that about yellow feeders! Ours are green and we get blue tits, sparrows, a wren and the odd finch. We get blackbirds too and they sing very loudly in the mornings :-) Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007583111181817717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-88177479471630179532015-05-08T19:30:04.175-04:002015-05-08T19:30:04.175-04:00Hi Wendy, I enjoyed your post today.

I will keep that in mind when I need a new one.

I have never seen a redwinged blackbird before and didn't know about the yellow feeder attracting your beautiful goldfinches. One of the best things about blogging is learning all this stuff!! Your paving slabs/bark area is fabulous, and as you say, much nicer than bare earth. I hope that Cody doesn't howl for long when you leave, he is obviously very attached to you! Thank you so much as always for joining in. I hope that you have a great weekend! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-24397212072575682022015-05-08T13:11:56.709-04:002015-05-08T13:11:56.709-04:00I always forget about 5 on Friday.
