    Every morning this little chap comes visiting and peeks in the window, but normally not long enough for me to get the camera out. So this morning I captured the visit on my phone camera.

    LOL - he has a bit of a stunned look - it must be because he can't believe what he is seeing, so has to come and check that he hasn't imagined it How nice though, you have a little friend!

    I love it!!! It's just SO funny the way he's regularly peering in.. nosy little blighter!

    It's funny that you should post this today with the previous comment about Orville - just an hour or so ago there was an item on the radio about Pontins being in administration and then were interviewing Keith Harris and Orville

    Well, Rolf, proof, if proof were needed, that you still have the necessary charm to attract a bird and keep her interested!

    She is a reall cutie.

    Maybe you could fix a roosting box on (or below) the windowledge?

    LOL, there you go, I've still got it.


    Whatever it is.


    Did put a small window ledge feeder up a few yars back, but it is right over the patio door, so not ideal.
