Your Chipmunk story made me smile, it sounds like it was teasing you ;)<br /><br />Lou, thanks for your extra comment, I hope you get everything done for the fete and that it goes well and also that the weather is good, soggy sock creatures on the stall wouldn't be a good look :)<br />Lots of love and XXXX to you and Poppy.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-70778690036334492372009-06-16T08:14:08.417+01:002009-06-16T08:14:08.417+01:00Thank you for lovely comment as always!

We had a chipmunk who found a way to go inside our bird feeder many times and ate so much it seemed like it was stuck inside.

The Starlings always seem mischievous to me but that one certainly went a little too far! I think the little Blue Tit probably hadn't been out of the nest very long judging by how fluffy it looked, it definitely seemed glad to be alive. Whether it has been quite so happy in the heavy storms we have had in the last week I don't know! <br /><br />Thanks very much for visiting.

They are consuming an enormous amount of seed, and even the birdbath is having to be replenished twice daily.<br />It is lovely to be able to have contact with so many nice people from all over the world in this way and I do hope you visit again, you are most welcome.<br /><br />Karen, thank you very much for your generous comments. It certainly was quite a drama at the time and not one I want to repeat ;)<br />It is a joy to see all the fledglings and juveniles, such a busy time for the birds!<br />Louis says thank you too, he loves compliments!<br /><br />Deena, thank you for your lovely comments. I was so sorry to hear about your poor Bluebirds, I did read about it on your site. What a very sad end. I had a Robin's nest raided and all the babies killed by a cat some years ago, I was devastated.<br />I am keeping my fingers crossed for your BC Chickadees, I do hope they have a happy outcome.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.com
