Hungry Baby Robins

We were right about there being a nest nearby. Baby robins have now appeared in the garden at Yew Court. They are so cute and fluffy. They are very tame and friendly and come right up to the back door for food.

One baby robin even came right into the kitchen. Of course he soon started to panick. Luckily I managed to quickly open the window and he flew out, none the worse for his experience.

The baby robins are now growing big and strong and are beginning to feed themselves although they still like to get their mum to feed them when they can get away with it!

Richard has managed to take some lovely photos of the mother and babies. They are very funny to watch.

He also took some great videos clips and we now have a utube channel for our videos. You can see it here

Friendly Robin Nesting Nearby

There has been a friendly robin around the garden at Yew Court lately. We think he must have a nest nearby because he has been very busy all day collecting pieces of bread and flying away and then coming back again and again.

It is surprising how much bread he can carry in his beak for such a small bird, he must be a very hungry robin. He is also very tame as Richard has been sun bathing on the lawn today and the robin has continued collecting bread from the lawn without seeming disturbed by Richard's prescence or the fact that he was also being photographed!

Summer at Yew Court

Summer has finally arrived again at Yew Court. It has been a long hard winter this year with lots of snow that stayed around for weeks on end. Summer has been a long time getting here, but I can now state that it has definately arrived at last with the last few days being very hot and humid. (Too hot in fact!).

There have been lots of birds around as usual, singing their pretty songs, building nests and having babies. We had blue tits nesting in the nesting box this year, they were flying around like mad collecting food for their hungry demanding babies.

Typically we missed the baby blue tits leaving the nest. We were so disapointed but as luck would have it, a few days later we spotted a baby blue tit in the garden. We felt sorry for him as he was a little lost baby blue tit and he looked so sad. But the story had a happy ending because he eventually found his mummy and they flew away together.

Digital Photography Shots

Finally got Richard's website Digital Photography Shots online and looking good!

I had to tweak the theme a bit and play around to get the categories to come out correctly but I got it working in the end.

We are both very pleased with the result.

My Cloud Photos

Just uploaded 4 more cloud photos to my photo gallery .

The last few days at Yew Court have been very cold and we have had lots of snow. Today the snow was quite heavy. By the time I went out it had got very icy and I slid all the way to the shop!

My Photo Gallery For Yew Court

Today I have created a photo gallery for my photos taken at Yew Court. Why not take a look!

There ae only two albums at the moment, Clouds and Flowers. I just love clouds, they can look so mysterious at times, it is like looking at another world. I will be adding to the collections but for now there are just a few photos in each.

Richard will be making a photo gallery for his photos in due course, so stay tuned for this event!

At this dark and dismal time of year it is really uplifting to look back on our Yew Court photos, especially the ones take in the summer. It reminds us of good times to come in the future.
