    Yes nice pictures.
    I think it is because gardening gets us close to nature and we like to share our gardens with wild things. To me a garden is not complete without the birds. At the moment I have both a robin and a blackbird that appear when i do my veg patch. If I find a juicy grub my first thought is to look for where the birds are.
