Jude Lol, no they all seem very bright. I have just counted nine (9) blackbirds in our garden, they spend more time chasing each other off than they do feeding. |

I love our sparrowhawk, to see it hunt is amazing. I have a big thing about birds of prey I find them absolutely beautiful. Last saw the sparrow hawk last week catching a blackbird then eating it on the green in front of my house. I stood watching it instead of cleaning the kitchen (much more interesting ) ;-) :-D. Just have to keep in mind that it is all part of the food chain :-D |

As well as all the usuals,, there are a dozen or so Red Wings in the Hawthorn tree at the moment. The snow is too deep, and still falling, to put anything on the ground for them. |

Just been out and fed them a nice mixture of Fruit,nuts,mealworms and seed YUMMY !!! I think they eat better than us. Not forgetting drinking water of course. I have no problem with that as I have a large pond in the garden with a pump running all year round so it never completely ices over. |

We have a water feature with running water too so they have plenty of water. every time I put feed out it disappears in half an hour. Redwings and fieldfare like apple by the way if you have any spare. |

Apple is in the fruit mixture, the blackbirds like them too. Not much left out there already |

Just as the starlings and blackbirds finished the food that was out tw fieldfares appeared. Very aggressive the larger one is going for the blackbirds. |

We usually have too many Sky rats (Seagulls ) that put off the birds but since the snow, the birds have come back with abundance. |

We do have a few seagulls but they don't seem to keep the other birds away. They have to eat as well of course. |
