WEEKLY TWEET

When was the last time you actually watched wildlife in your back garden?

Today? Last week? Can't remember? In today's modern world, we are finding it increasingly difficult to relax and take time out from work or family. This blog is to remind you all of the free entertainment that we can enjoy each and every day - WILDLIFE!

New Menu

Well, I've tried everything today... cheese... coconut... apple... seed... nuts... raisins.... the birds have more of a selection than I do! I had a couple of the Chaffinches come back (though fleetingly!),

and the Robin was still doing his Hummingbird technique, and even the Coal Tit brought his mate along so I should be grateful.
Of course, looking on the bright side my feeders aren't that busy because there's still plenty of natural food around for them......but the selfish side of me wants them to bombard my garden!
I don't think I've ever been this impatient for the cold weather to arrive!

Patience, Sharon, Siskins, Redpolls, and Barmblings are on their way!

Warren - I like your positive attitude!

I still think that like me you may have a Sparrowhawk lurking around Sharon!

I have left a longer comment on your previous post.

Hmmmm, not sure about the Sparrowhawk -would love it if we did have one as they're not as common over here as in UK but I'm leaning more towards a cat (unfortunately!)
