Dreadful to see that, Squirrel - can only be thankful it wasn't more .... Cycling home from work (in a different part of the country) many years ago near the duck pond there were two ducks just crossing the narrow country road and the driver in front of me, which was the only other car around, actually accelerated to ram right into them - I could not believe it - what would you get out of doing that
I was in a right panic and cycled back to where I worked - they, of course, advised that there was nothing to be done and the ducks would probably just turn up their toes
I got it wrong - "It was on the one with the yellow top" - that's the sunflower hearts one 
) an influx of Collared Doves feasting on my SF hearts. Now, a couple visiting is OK as it gives the smaller birds a chance to dine between the CD visits but 4 or 5 tend to dominate. A couple of days ago I took the decision, albeit reluctantly, to limit access to the SF feeder to the small birds by fitting a guardian. I have done this once before and within a couple of days most of the little birds were happily coming and going as though nothing was different but this time I have gone from half a kilo per day consumption to virtually nothing. It is quiet in the garden at present with the exception of the Sparrows so perhaps that explains the lack of takers for the hearts.
