It's been very busy here too Bert - one of the advantages of cold weather !!

I was working from home today, so kept an eye on activities - having done the normal filling rounds this morning, and I had to do a top up trip this afternoon, greedy blighters !!!

Sounds as though we had a similar mix of birds .... apart from the starlings and houseparrows. We've also had the long tailed tits and a great spotted woodpecker.
