Hi
I'm Sally from Crewkerne, in Somerset. |=)|
Just thought I'd join today, as I am a bit worried about a baby blackbird which 'our' resident Mr and Mrs B left in our garden to feed, in the pouring rain, fed him/her a couple of times and then they both flew off and don't appear to have been back since. |=(| We watched the baby for a while, just sitting there getting soaked and we were really worried. The baby moved itself to a slightly more sheltered area (Behind our recycling bin) and so I went out and put an umbrella up over the bin, which I suppose did frighten the baby (But I was just trying to stop him getting even wetter). Anyway, the baby seems to have gone from our garden now, but we can still hear him calling for the parents and I have seen Mr B looking for the baby, with some food in his beak, so hopefully he will find him/her soon!!
We moved here back in September and this is our first garden, so it's just wonderful to have our 'own' birds that we have got to know and are able to have so much pleasure from watching. We have had a few problems with our fat ball feeders though, as we have had Jackdaws and Crows (And even a Rook) attacking them, devouring the balls AND knocking the feeders over the fence, so that the balls tipped out!! |!| Now we have moved the feeders to a better position though, so even though the Jackdaws still TRY to get on the feeders, it is much more difficult for them now! :t:
