By chance or is it fate that we now live in a house boat on the River Thames near Hampton Court. We only moved in in November and have experienced the coldest winter in memory. Despite that we are constantly surprised and excited by the life on the river. We have a coots nest and mama coot is busy nesting; we have seen the grebes come into colour, the mute swans, canada geese, mallards, tufted ducks etc beginning their courtship.
In our garden - the bluetits, gold finches, the greater spotted woodpecker, jays, magpies and of course the beautiful green parakeets. My husband calls them hooligans but they remind me of Australia. We have also seen the magnificent kingfisher and this week saw a mink.
Why have I started a blog? To produce a monthly record of life at Twin Beaks
Nice blog! Look forward to reading more...

So many birds! Those Hooligans are the best and should never be forgotten. Can't wait to see the tinny for myself, couple more hooligans on the river should be fine ;) See you in May!
