Despite nearly 3 days of lying snow my garden has been rather quiet!
Same here but then that's quite usual! But I was hoping the cold would attract more onto my feeder and sure enough, the blackbird has dared to venture onto it, though she took some effort to actually land on the seed tray!
What has been interesting to watch is the intimidating behaviour of the crows with the magpies. The crows hang around the feeders nearly all day, waiting for a magpie to steal food then the classic chase-til-they-drop behaviour appears (kleptoparasitism I think). It makes the magpies so nervous, they get chased on the ground and in the air, can't win!
