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 -- ....................................

Got to go and fill it again it has been so 'busy'. It's a 17" Plant pot saucer. Mike -- ....................................

Mike We have Magpies "dunking" crusts in the brid bath Bill 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? -- ....................................
