At this time of year

Sitting outside in the garden is lovely at this time of year as you get serenaded by bird song. Merlin told me at one point that there were five different birds calling or singing and I am now beginning to tell them apart. 

However, it is a different matter trying to spot the birds, now there are leaves on the trees. Different birds came and went, but a Song Thrush was there the whole time - singing away. 

Eventually I spotted him - high up  among the leaves - still singing.
