A Christmas Story


The spirit of Christmas is alive and well, and proof positive today when local man Charlie Black sent me a lovely pic of him holding a Goldfinch. Charlie feeds the birds in his garden and is fortunate enough to have about 20 Goldfinches visiting for their daily dose of Nyger seeds , the Goldfinch's favourite food ! Today one of them hit his window and on inspection Charlie found it on it's back and appeared dead, however he took the bird into the warm and gave it time to revive then put it out onto the bird table and after an hour it flew off. Charlie reckons it's one of the most beautiful things he's had the pleasure of helping. Charlie says "never give up, even when all appears lost." I agree - Well done to you Charlie !
