The garden is a busy place
wild birds come to feed all day 
Their visits entertain us
as they pick and peck away 

Robins, sparrows, finches and tits
create a constant flurry
Busying themselves on the grass
the blackbirds scoot and scurry

We also get the odd pigeon 
clumsily ambling around 
They like to wallow in the bath 
then settle down on the ground 

We recently had a woodpecker
he made a welcome sight 
Bold, bright and beautiful
red belly and spotted black and white 

This week we got four new additions
to our wildlife family
The four cutest baby rabbits  
that you could ever see

Their mother is so protective 
I’m sure she watches on with pride
We watch them explore the garden
before returning to her side

I know they should be discouraged 
but I just love to watch them play
So I ignore their feeding habits 
for just another day
