The Birds (after Hitchcock)
If anyone is worried about a lack of birds on their feeders at the
moment, don't worry. I think the entire UK population is all here! Usually a single woodpecker visits late morning and mid afternoon. Today, five all at once fighting for a foothold. A sparrow army fighting a starling army (the sparrows won). Counted seven nuthatches at one point. Too many tits and finches of all varieties to count. Filled all the feeders and covered the bird table with about half an inch of seeds early this morning. Used a kilo of sunflower hearts and half a kilo of peanuts. Refilled all the feeders and bird table at lunchtime. Another kilo of sunflowers and a kilo of peanuts (thanks to woodpeckers scoffing the lot). Just refilled all the sunflower feeders and the bird table, which was bare! Have run out of peanuts. That's three kilos of sunflower hearts in one day (so far). Close on six quid's worth. It costs a bit more than the TV licence but we both think it's a lot more interesting and worth every pound! But the ungrateful blighters always fly off as soon as the camera's turned on and focused for the photo!!!!!
