PROPER eggs though, ah, what a difference. I always buy free range eggs, but only the ones from folk on the car boot sale who keep their own F/R hens are anything like my eggs, with their orange yolks.<br /><br />When mum was alive, we put bird feeders right by her window so she could watch the birds, and a Sparrowhawk was always very active down there - one swoop through and one less bird . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-59789105194016229372016-11-15T07:33:59.542+00:002016-11-15T07:33:59.542+00:00Hi and welcome, Lucy also lives off chicken as we...Hi and welcome, Lucy also lives off chicken as well but has never chased the chickens and is always there when there is a food handout. The little building at the top of the blog is the old coke house for the church, at the front there is a hatch off the ground about horse and waggon size for tipping the coke in. Not used now, the church has crummy electric heating which hardly works.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-33910562678000181412016-11-15T07:23:37.705+00:002016-11-15T07:23:37.705+00:00Well our hawk must have killed the three pigeons t...Well our hawk must have killed the three pigeons the other day, he/she looks a mean fella. The birds often leave an imprint of their shape on the window which is strange, sadly a few weeks back a beautiful thrush killed itself on the selfsame window.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-75359291449010799802016-11-14T17:27:00.560+00:002016-11-14T17:27:00.560+00:00Not sure I have told you but I love your heading p...Not sure I have told you but I love your heading photo.

They make a terrible bang and yet we rarely find a dead one; they seem to take shelter in the nearby privet hedge until they recover. We have a more or less resident sparrow hawk who flies through at great speed once or twice a day - luckily there is a high holly hedge the little birds at the feeders can rush into. The hawk does occasionally catch a collared dove - we have at least fifteen.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
