Shirley Roulston ~ My Garden and Beyond

The days are getting chilly and the garden is wet with dew each morning, signs of Autumn as the leaves start to fall, the flowers are turning to seed pods.  The little Cyclamens peeping amongst the annuals, pink and white.
Starting to fill feeders and a few takers were the Great and Blue Tits. By the front gate is a nut feeder and a Great Spotted Woodpecker comes in early morning for a feed but he never carries the nuts away always likes to pecks little pieces and eats them.   The Robins singing again, marking their territory, its a wonderful sight as its uses the bird bath with water droplets everywhere.
Lots of shrubs dripping with berries this year, the Pyracantha laden with orange berries has already attracted the Blackbirds.
 The Willow Warblers have gone leaving a hand full of Chiffchaff, occasionally a call is heard from the hawthorn tree as the Chiffchaff makes its Autumnal call. 
Waiting patiently for the Fieldfares and the Redwings, I've heard they are on their way, coming from the Shetland Islands.
