Birds and water
 
I think a few bird baths etc must be a bit dry around here. My big bird bath
is very busy this morning. Sparrows as usual, but a Pigeon has just
scattered water everywhere whilst bathing, Blue Tits busy in there with
Sparrows queuing to get in. (We do have rather a lot of 'Sparrers'.)

Are you keeping an eye on your water supply for the birds?

Mike

When I turned and looked out of the window after putting the original
posting up, a Blackbird and a Sparrow were in the bath.

Got to go and fill it again it has been so 'busy'.

It's a 17" Plant pot saucer.

We were having a discussion in the office one day years ago about which
biscuits were best for dunking. A younger member said 'What's dunking?'

"You don't know what dunking is? You've never dunked? Oh you have a lot to
learn"

Can't remember if we told him or left him in suspense.

Question for this readership. Do we all know what dunking is and what
biscuits do you prefer?

Digestives break up far too easily and are therefore best eaten with a
nice bit of blue cheese, rather than used for dunking.

Agree about them breaking up, that is why I posed the question.

We have Digestives at the Cheese and Biscuit course of the Menu at our Lodge
Dinners :-)
