Just adding some pages from my sketchbook. I put out some niger (nyger?) seeds to attract the goldfinches that I could hear around the garden.  They have a very pretty song.  It took a couple of three weeks, but they have found me! I love watching them.  I am also very pleased with the flock of sparrows who are now living in my garden. Lots more birds since the next door neighbours moved away, taking their pesky cat with them! (Nice neighbours, but cat a bit annoying!).  I saw a woodpecker on the ash tree, the other day, too.
