Bird watch

[innocent_lex]

Just before Christmas I bought a bird feeder stand which has various hooks, a table and a water dish. I've now hung two feeders (seeds and peanuts), I load up the table with more seed and the latest hanging thing is a peanut cake which hangs off another hook. I've been getting more visitors as the weeks have gone by, and a wider variety. So far there have been collared doves (a pair that have been visiting my garden for a few years now), thrushes, blue tits, chaffinches, green finches, starlings, robins, pigeons, sparrows, blackbirds, and today my first great tit (very pretty it was too!). I have my desk positioned so I look out onto the back garden, so it's nice to see a flash of movement and watch the latest visitors coming for dinner.

With all the snow, I've been out and put a lot more food out, and the birds have been really getting through it. I bought more today. This could get expensive.
