thanks Karen.Its quite comical at times to see one trying to chase the other out of the stream and it goes back in further down.

thanks to you all.I am lucky that I just sit in my comfy chair and take the pics out of the window.Feeder situated in just he right place.thanks Ken when retired weekdays and weekends are just the same.In fact prefer the quieter days through the week
shysongbird,when we first moved here there were no plants or shrubs at all so very few birds,it has took 9 years of hard work to
get where we are and I still count my blessings every day
