A Beautiful Goldfinch gave us a visit today. He didn't stay very long but he is the first one I have seen for a long long time, so it's nice to know that there are still some left around. I will keep a lookout for this fellow again as he/she may be nesting nearby.The blackbird is now spending more time on the nest. She doesn't leave it as often as she used to do. I expect that when the eggs hatch out she will be in and out very often bringing food to the chicks. I see less and less of the robin also but I know that she is still there as she can be seen going in or out occasionly.
