It's true, I quite like Pigeons
Do you mean monkey nuts? and how do you offer them? scattered or in a feeder of some type?
Massive heavy shower has just passed and have loads of activity again:
Song Thrush just shoood off the lawn by female Blackbird, reluctantly flew to the tree.
Male Bullfinch back on the feeder
Blue tits galore..... on the floor and the feeders
Greenfinch, Dunnocks, Starlings, Chaffinch, Robin and Juvenile, Goldfinch, can also hear the great tits calling for food. ***Update*** This is actually Blue tits calling for food, I have just seen the adults feeding 3 newly fledged. This should be another exciting week here in East Cheshire, pity I have to go to work shorlty, but role on the mornings.***
Just got a lovely shot of the oldest Juvenile Blackbird that has just come for a sit on my bench :t:
Lovely picture Dave, is the bird injured, or is it just how it's perched. It's right toes look bent over?
As to the Nuts, yeah Monkey Nuts, I get them for £32.50 for 20kg. That's cheaper than the bags at supermarkets and also they are uncooked, which they prefer.
I feed some loose and some go in home made trays that I hang in the trees. I'll go take a few pictures so you can see where I hang them, and what the trays look like.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
