Busy morning

Well, I finally got the sunflower hearts out and what a great response. Everyone decided theyd like to have a try at it, even the robin. Mr and Mrs Blackcap had a good go before Mrs Blackcap decided to chase her husband off again, boy is she a stroppy so and so.. through the binoculars I could see her, beak open, not 3 inches from his face, screeching at him!! The Greenfinches were all over it too, mrs greenfinch was happy at the top while 2 males seemed to think that each one wanted all 10 feeding ports and the other male shouldnt be there!

such a lot of birds this morning, maybe the cold morning (-2C here) brings them out. I cant think of a better way to start the day than 2 cups of tea watching the little jewels of my garden get on with their morning business.

What a joy this is.

  2. Well done Matt, the hearts really do work like a magnet in our garden. The Greenfinches and Goldfinches constantly scrap over places at the feeders, you will find they are very messy eaters and throw a lot around. It may well cost you a fortune in hearts as it does me, but you are spot on it is a joy to have so much activity in the garden. Happy watching.
