My Bird feeders!

Quite a lot happens in my back garden, I have got 9/11 birdfeeders in my back garden, 4 with bird seed, 1 with hazelnuts, and 3 fat ball, seed, or nuts feeder.
The 2 I haven't got up, one needs to be screwed in, it iis a table with any kind of food for the birds. The other one is one where you put food with fruit seeds inside, it does have fruit as well, it was also the birdfeeder that I started with.


I have seen a lot of birds in my back garden, the most occasional one is the strongly territorial Robin, I have seen this robin in my back garden singing to other robins, the tune is easily mistaken for a blackbird as it does suit them. In my book, called A FIELD GUIDE TO THE WILDLIFE OF THE BRITISH ISLES it doesn't say anything about hibernation or migration on the page about Robins. And this is a fact. Robins are very tame and will come very near or will allow you to go near to them.
 
WHEN I WAS LITTLE AT WESTON AND WARRON LAKE:
 
When I was little, a friend of mine took me to go fishing at Weston and Warron lake, and my friend or mny mums friend Jhon, he used to set up his carrier that carries his fishing stuff right next to his chair, then we used to use maggits, after he got them out, a robin came along and sat on the handle of his carrier, he was waiting for Jhon to get the maggits out. The funny thing is that he always wanted the ones in the box, he never bothered with the ones on the floor, even if he dropped one, he would still want the ones from the box.
 
 
Now every time me or my mum go into my back garden when the Robin's there, he has a go and tells us off, even if we walked up to him, he does a high pitched noise that goes "TIT" for roughly 5 times, he likes the bird feeders that I put in my back garden.

This is a picture that I took in my front Garden, although this species of bird is well known for it's name, but the population, well thats a different story round here. This is a Mistle Thrush, me, my mum and my brother Stephen have not seen one single Thush for 10-15 years, well I have never even seen a Thrush in my life, it looks quite a lot like the Hedge Sparrow, exept it's bigger, it's belly is yellow with black spots, and it's a bit fatter. Although they look like a Hedge Sparrow, it is not easily mistaken, it's height is the main reson why and the spots on its chest are the reasons why they can't be mistaken.

There are two types of thrush, the Mistle Thrush (one in the picture) and the Song Thrush, The song thrush is slightly different, but it's not hard to see, its chest is a creamy colour with black spots, and the Mistle Thrush has a more yellow colour with black spots.
 
What I do always have is a few House Sparrows, always Squabbling over one bird feeder.
