Eye catching, but the result of the regular emptying of the ice out of the

Given that the temperature is not going much above freezing for the next few
days this may become a major feature.

I've just added som High Energy Mixture to the feeders, but there doesn't
seeem to be much bird activity at the moment.
Ours are as busy as ever, and with some additions, such as wood pigeons and starlings. Interesting afternoon in Liverpool - cars parked at about midday had acquired icicles by mid afternoon - sleet was falling and freezing immediately on impact.
