During my hedgehog invasion I took down all the bird feeders and I have not been putting food out for the birds now for 4 weeks. The darling hedgehogs were feeding on all the bits dropped by the careless birds!! Both hedgehogs now on their holidays at the animal rescue centre and long may they stay there!!
This morning I filled up the feeders and got my camera out - first time for weeks!! I think it was about 5 minutes before the starlings descended and at one point there were at least 20 birds all squabbling and fighting for the food. I have missed my birds and was able to get quite a few shots of all this mornings visitors - robin, blackbirds, sparrows, dunnocks and big fat wood pigeons. Everything is back to normal!! Of course all was not quiet because as soon as Finlay saw the birds he was dashing out in the vain hope of catching one. Thankfully they saw the white tornado as he dashed out barking.
Many thanks for visiting my project and leaving your great comments which are always appreciated!!
