I do always have a bird water bath available but not a dust one, so that might be a good idea, I will give it a go. :) Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630216046532015989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767965484390519592.post-42877821586203504862016-12-19T00:16:44.927+00:002016-12-19T00:16:44.927+00:00Ah thank you Karen! xxxAh thank you Karen! xxxKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630216046532015989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767965484390519592.post-17541388796768733342016-12-19T00:16:13.373+00:002016-12-19T00:16:13.373+00:00Yes, we are winter born children.

It's starting to spread to the hawthorn tree now too. When the wind blows it down I collect it and keep it in a basket with dried lavender and rose petals .

Isn't it lovely to see the nests revealed when the leaves go away. I'm always surprised how close to the house some are, without me ever realising they were there. They hide them so well! <br />Yes, I had a nice birthday, thanks :)<br /> Have a magical Christmas x Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630216046532015989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767965484390519592.post-75904993910870117782016-12-19T00:02:09.816+00:002016-12-19T00:02:09.816+00:00So happy you found this blog and enjoyed the post ...So happy you found this blog and enjoyed the post Jane!

You have probably put some out already but if not my own garden birds always enjoy a bird bath even in the depths of winter as it helps to wash out any bugs and makes them feel warmer and less itchy. A dust bath with loose garden soil finely ground up in a saucer or shallow plastic container might help as well with mites.

I have native trees that I planted many years ago and they are friends. I planted an alder as part of a native hedge but haven't been able to cut it as it grew into such a beautiful tree, giving gifts each season - cones and catkins and it's such a perfect shape. Sadly it has a hole in its trunk,so will have to be coppiced to prevent the winter winds from felling it completely but I hope that it will flourish again. And as the leaves have fallen and the gorgeous silhouettes are revealed, my reward has been to see that several of our feathered friends made nests in the trees this year. <br />I hope that your robin stays well and enjoys all his treats. Your home looks beautiful and starry and twinkly as always and I hope that you had a very happy birthday.<br />Have a wonderful festive season and thank you for the beautiful words - definitely made me feel very christmassy :)redwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374420289152453021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767965484390519592.post-39200344242337551102016-12-13T17:55:34.873+00:002016-12-13T17:55:34.873+00:00I have just found your blog.
