Has anybody else noticed a shortage of activity at the feeders this weekend? I don't know if the birds know something I don't but the only activity on the feeders this weekend has been the ever reliable Robin!
Not a titter of anything else! Maybe their food source is a bit more abundant than a few days ago, maybe more insects are around or something? Who knows?
All I know is that I've been poised with my camera aimed at the bird feeders for almost 2 days and now have cramp..................not that there's anything wrong with a Robin, of course!

its gone quiet over here too Sharon. They will all be back when the temperature drops!
I hope so! I can't wait for the colder weather just to see what else appears on the fat balls!
Hi Sharon, I'm so glad I found you, (via Shirl's site) a very big welcome to blogland! When I came over to take a peek I was thrilled to find you had already 'found' me and also, unbeknown to me, put yourself on my followers...thank you! I normally spot new followers but as you don't have a profile photo your name had put itself on the end and I'm not sure whether you joined on the 10/06 or the 6/10/09, if it was the former please forgive me for not realising!
Anyway I am loving your blog already, when I started mine it was going to be predominantly about the birds in my garden but unlike you I am not lucky enough to have mature native trees backing onto my garden and bringing in such a wide variety of birds and indeed other creatures. We do have quite a large garden and there used to be some wonderful mature trees at the back of it but sadly they were felled some years ago. Consequently I have had to look further afield from time to time to look for something different, although I hasten to add I am enjoying that too and trying to get to grips with waders etc is a deep learning curve!
How amazing that you have visits from a Badger! They have been seen near us and my brother, who lives nearby and whose garden backs onto allotments, has seen one but as far as I know there has not been one in our garden yet.
My feeders have not been quite so busy lately as there has been a Sparrowhawk around and the other birds are being more wary.
You have some lovely photos here, I loved seeing the Jay, such colourful birds!
I am sorry this has been more of a novel than a comment ;) I do have a tendency to that!
I wish you the very best of luck with your blog and I shall visit regularly :)
