I have not spent a lot of time in the shed, although I am not neglecting the birds or squirrels. I am still feeding them, just not staying down in the shed as long.
The birds come early on a morning and about 4-4:30pm so I try to make sure there is plenty for them. The squirrels appear at any time so the nutboxes are filled on a morning with plenty of black sunflower seeds out around the garden as well that way they don't wreck the feeders.
If I am feeling really generous I put out some chocolate near the peanut butter. The squirrels love chocolate for a treat.
Everything that comes into the garden loves peanut butter, there was even a crow trying to get some the other day but I just didn't have a camera to hand, so that was another picture I missed.
Robin is always first to appear.
Blue Tit never far behind.
Long Tailed Tit always a pleasure to see.
Starlings sharing peanut butter from the log, that makes a change they usually fight over it.
A Starling having a bath, I had only just cracked the ice and added more water seconds before.
Another Starling watching over the garden, on the look out for cats and Sparrow Hawks.
Squirrel almost missed the table when he jumped
However he managed to hang on and reach the food on the table.
Now for a useless fact, (I was asked where it was on the last entry so I thought I had better remember this time.)
If you fed a seagull Alka Seltzer,
It's stomach would explode!
How do they know these things?
Until the next time...
