The old folks next door used to feed the birds, sadly Jean died in summer, Laurie moved down south. One of the garden suppliers has some nice looking bird cakes in fake coconut shells - but why wait for fake coconuts to arrive in the post when there's a real coconut sitting in the conservatory, fat from the frying pan sitting in a tin, seeds, nuts and dried fruit in the cupboards and lard in the fridge...
Mrs blackbird seams to like the bird cake, she was there over 1/2 hr. Starlings like it too. The one on the line's been pecked at and was spinning when I went to the shed for a shovel early on. Robins and crows seem to enjoy the Polish bread.!. Loadsa wood in the shed, a proper bird table could be a good project when it gets a bit warmer, brrrrrrrrr.
