Meet Derek and Odette - so named by my Swan Lake loving girls. We can't quite get a full identification from our bird book, it's not specific enough. Some type of finch to be sure. Derek is beautiful in his bright orange suit. Odette, a little more subtle, is striking nonetheless. They've taken up residence in one of our hanging baskets, but they also love to perch on our windows, when open. It only took one day for them to build their next, another to populate it with two eggs. The number is now up to four, but we're not sure when the last two appeared. It's been great fun to greet them throughout the day. Welcome new neighbors!
Mr. Waters got into the action too, putting up this luxury bird palace/feeder in the garden yesterday.
