Re: ROBINS

Three !! simultaneous robins today. Maybe the cold has temporarily halted hostilities.
They were all picking up the discards of sunflower hearts from the goldfinches. It's handy that they are such messy, profligate eaters :)

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....

For 2 consecutive winters I had a grey wag on a daily basis. Only water is the pond.

Re: ROBINS

STOP PRESS !! STOP PRESS !!
Spring is one month away :clap: . Two robins sitting on the same silver birch low branch; one came down to feed and the other looked on lovingly. I was only about 6 ft away.

Re: BIRD FEEDING

Intriguing question, Nuthatch. A neighbourhood cat comes regularly for cheese squares; the birds watch it from the trees and shrubs and then come down when it has had its fill and wandered off.
Maybe foxes are more scary ??

Re: Corvids

Scientists have discovered how to differentiate between a rook and a crow. A rook has five wing pinions whereas a crow has six, thereby proving that it's all just a matter of a pinion :unsure:
