It has always been the downside of attracting birds to your garden is making the Sprawk's job easier. although I dislike seeing my little birds end up a sprawk's dinner I am always impressed by the skill and craft of the bird and by the lookout system employed by his intended targets. :nod:

Twenty five feral pigeons arrived all at once and devoured every dropped seed or crumb from under the feeders. :eek:

Out on my walk this morning had a lovely sight. Was nearing Fungi Field and noticed two buzzards circling, was then joined by another two and then another two. Six buzzards all in the same place. Wow what a moment.

I was delighted to see a pair of Redpolls on the hearts feeder today :tampoline: . The cold weather worked it's magic but now it's gone mild again :(
