"Wow! That's really impressive @Ookpik I really like that you've made the decorations yourself. Which bird is your favourite? If you have one?" The tree, cones and the lights were bought. But the rest of the decor is what l made.
My favourite bird is the "Blackbird". because l find them so comical to watch. During the springtime, The blackbird fletchings appear. They are like little children into everything. My second favourite is the ! "Hoopoe", comical to look at and comical when they walk. l saw one marching the "Goosestep" That was abroad .by the way0 -
""Aw that's lovely, there's something very striking about blackbirds. I've just googled a 'Hoopoe' and wow, they are colourful and very funky. Have you spotted one in the UK before?""
No, l haven't spotted one in the U.K. But where l stayed in the south of Bulgaria"Creme",, pronounce as Shrem, is the place saw it. This is because of the vast wilderness of the open countryside. lt has a huge array of wildlife species. l even saw a ladybird spider .and they are huge.l have a photo of it, if you like to see it. lt is the size of a person hand0 -

l used to be scared of spiders. But l got used to them when l learnt more about them, and it progressed from there handling them
. Here is a photo of a "Golden Orielli! [excuse spelling] what l find so attractive of these birds is ,they dance in the air when mating making a beautiful enchanting sound that seems to be like a ghostly angel singing to the woods.And there colour is ,,Wow.
And did you know, 100 years ago Golden orielli's were in England ,somewhere in the Norfolk and Suffolk region . But due to the culling for the fashoin industry, killing these birds for womens hats during the roaring 20's they became extinct in the U.K. These birds still remain in Bulgaris. Hence l sais "Still remain" Bulgaria's human activity is encroaching fast in the wildlifes habitat . l do hope they will protect much of the wildlife habitat

Yes I do
We have a large batch of home made ones every year so we have a good supply of them, however we only seem to have 8 left this year and it hasn’t even been Christmas Day yet!!
A lot were given away this year to be fair, as we haven’t properly met up with certain people so we gave them mince pies instead.0 -
Nice mince pies, @Libby_Scope one of my favourites, enjoy!0

Thought I'd share my Christmas Tree, the felt cat sits rather nicely in it, even if he does look a bit grumpy3 -
