But you are only seeing tiny bits of it.... Seeing as the summer is [supposed] to be coming, I'll be posting a bit more about it from time to time. Thanks! But you are only seeing tiny bits of it….

It's tame enough to take food from the hand now. We have a load of birds visiting our garden, and there was a robin chick that has lived in the garden since last summer.

Right through winter, we have the most spectacular displays at twilight. Especially if the weather is not the best. The sky literally fills with them. I must see if I have some photos [as the season is more or less over now]. @Brianf - One thing I can't brag about is bears! The area is crawling with deer though. You never know when you are going to drive around a bend and find a stag blocking the road. @Donncha – One thing I forgot to mention is the Rooks.

I use to live way out in the woods and from time to time I miss it. I had a family of turkey that roosted in my front yard, went deer and small game hunting in my backyard. Every once and awhile I'd find bear scat on my lane. It was about 2 miles on the dirt road I lived on to the hard road or a 1/3 mile across the fields. Boy, I miss living in the country. I’m jealous.

Must post a pic of them soon! We used to get all sorts of birds feeding in the garden too but after Oscar the dog moved in only crows come in now unfortunately. I do have a picture of a <a href="http://inphotos.org/bird-feeding/" rel="nofollow">nice tit</a> too. Oh how we laughed!

It’s the other Bertie you are thinking of. He’s the one that’s for the birds.

It's mostly gone now but there are still a few snow flurries. We are quite high in the mountains here, so snow is common enough. It's the wildlife I feel sorry for.
