Feeding birds

Tracy would like us to concentrate of the guys at Allsorts with the them of All about the Boy. Our sponsors are DigiDarla and Craft Fairy.

Apologies for the lack of visits the last day or two but it's been head down preparing for samples to go back across the pond and also an upcoming Create and Craft programme.

I have used another new design from Nicecrane along with yet more colouring in, two coloured images in one week has to be a first for me. The birds and nest image really appealed to me and is of course very seasonal with all the birds busily nest building in the hedgerows. And I knew I had a perfect Stampendous sentiment to go with it which I stamped into the centre. I distressed all the edges and shaded with Pan Pastels, added some twine and a couple of hinges using TH hardware findings die.

We have a multitude of wild birds in the gardens and yesterday I tried to get a few photos as it was such a lovely sight seeing so many in one place underneath one of the bird feeders, the Robins being very territorial usually chase the Yellowhammers and Tits away, but on this occasion he was too busy feeding. My camera is not great for distance shots, but you get the idea.

We have more than our share of Bullfinches who are such pretty birds. We have also sighted a pair of Honey Buzzards overhead, last year the were quite south from their usual habitat over the villages between here and Peterborough, but looks like they have moved even further south and are a lovely sight with their huge honey coloured wing spans, hence their name.

And finally the beautiful rainbow across the paddocks yesterday, I was unable to get a wide enough shot to capture it all in one photo but it was one of the most vivid I have ever seem, sadly neither end was in our grounds so I didn't bother going out to dig for the pot of gold !

Hope you all have a good weekend.
