I will give this a go as I really would like them to visit.
On the far side of the garden I planted a Crab Apple"John downie" last spring so if this takes off in the future then I stand an even better chance.
It's funny really as I have thrown apples out before on the lawn but the Blackbirds ignore them completely and the Starlings wait untill they are quite brown before eating them. Is this true in your gardens or is this another regional variation thing?
Thanks again for suggetion always glad of a few suggestions
Hi Stephen, the blackbirds always took the apples as soon as I put them out. Starlings did, too. In fact, I always used to think of apples as one of the easiest of foods to give the birds, no mess and eaten straight away.
Maybe it's a Rochdale thing - I'll have to ask my sister-in-law - she lives there too
Cracking photos Helen I have to say I am very envious. I always look forward to the winter Thrushes along with the Waxwing..........don't tell me you get these as well!LOL
May be strange question but is there a favourite apple?
Golden del have been out on the lawn all day today with no takers.
