favorite things, wildlife and so on.
to get things going (or not) heres mine,

Hi Marmite

Birds include (in no particular order) House Sparrows, Starlings, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Robins, Long-tailed Tits, Green Finch, Gold Finch, Chaffinch, Collared Doves, Blackbirds, Song Thrush (occasionally), Gold Crests, and of course wood pidgeons. Also, twice had a visit from a Great Spotted woodpecker and also a Sparrowhawk (although unfortunately he/she was not feeding on the bird feeders).

You're right, I do have a big garden and plenty of weeds to deal with.

Eddie

Thanks 2dogs.

You send the birds this way and I will send the Sqirrels your way
Fair exchange or what?

Hopefully another picture should be attached

Hello Eddie. You need a small train set to go with the church building. I saw an tna in the garden to day and the misses said it's an ant going backwards stupid.
And today we have been married 36 years to each other and she still looks beautiful today as she did on our weddingday. .Regards Marmite

Hi 2dogs

I must give credit to the Wife for the placement of the church...she said 'Put it there' so, being a good boy as I am, I put it there
It being quite heavy a few choice words were said, especially when I got my finger trapped underneath Not the sort of language one would normally associate with a church.
That is indeed a Cordyline next to it, one of four in the garden. Well, one in rockery, one in raised bed next to water feature, and two in large pots.
