It's funny how birds are such a distinctive marker of where one lives Karen... on my side I miss the colour and riotous noises of Australian birds: our European birds are so well behaved in comparison!

I miss the birds I used to watch at my feeders in England - especially the tits and robins (american robins are nowhere near as interesting as the european species in my opinion!) & the magpies which we don't get in Tennessee!
