The birdies of my garden

Sorry pictures are a little small.

You'll need a magnifying glass!!




Sturklings feeding on the feeding station. Note the coconut on the right side. There are three sides which the birds can eat from. They managed to get through one side within a few days! Now they are concentrating on the otherside.



On the left of the picture you will see a Christmas tree. This is the tree which has the peanut feeder hanging from one of the branches. Still a bit wee for the B & Q lights.








A lonesome Blackbird looking for food.











Sturklings still feeding!

Coconut hanging from the right side of the feeding station.















Notice the positioning of the Coconut. It has been moved from the right hand side of the feeding station to the left side. The birds had becom quite clever and were standing on the arm of the nut feeder below to peck the coconut fat. When another bird landed on the outside of the coconut they held the nut still and they were able to feed quicker. ..so I moved it! Some then gave up and went to a different source of food hanging in the garden, whilst others persisted and won!


Have you spotted the two large birds on the feeding tray?





Looking through the glass window and watching the birds find the bird seed which was scattered earlier!
