The starling are untidy and selective when using the seed feeders and any fallen seed is being mopped by the feral pigeons and the jackdaws. However when the starlings decide to go elsewhere the jackdaws have found th...

The male blackcap has been with me for a few weeks now but there was no sign of the female. Today she appeared pushing and shoving on the SF seed feeder with the goldfinches and the greenfinches.

Re: BIRD FEEDING
It has been a very cold week but most of the time I've been able to have water available in at least one of the bird baths or the ponds.
