I have just ordered another 20Kg which should last until the new year if I am lucky. I am surprised some of the visitors can fly they eat so much ;)<br /><br />With luck we may get a thaw this coming weekend but I don't think it will last for long.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-49715486971528875352010-12-06T20:23:07.925+00:002010-12-06T20:23:07.925+00:00Hello Shirl - humph! not above zero for long. -6 l...Hello Shirl - humph! not above zero for long. -6 last night and below that already tonight. Poor old Bobby's joints are suffering as he slithers on uneven icy pavements.<br /><br />Ther seem to be dozens of Chaffinches here as well. Many more than usual and at twilight this morning there were 8 blackbirds finding the seed I had scattered just before dark yesterday.<br /><br />Great that you have had Brambling. I have only had one a while ago. <br /><br />Pretty safe here, and always warm.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-52440887893030568372010-12-06T20:18:13.742+00:002010-12-06T20:18:13.742+00:00It was the Robin video which threw me Adrian - wel...It was the Robin video which threw me Adrian - well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-39392885974868615862010-12-05T03:35:28.746+00:002010-12-05T03:35:28.746+00:00How fortunate for your birds that you have such a ...How fortunate for your birds that you have such a terrific variety of food for them. They all look like they are glad of it! Ever since the raccoon trashed my main bird feeder, I have just hung out some suet/seed blocks. There's no snow here at present, but it is chilly nonetheless! Nice to see Bobby in the snow, too :) Interesting about the ducks tucking their legs under their wings.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-84808466265219041132010-12-04T14:40:50.239+00:002010-12-04T14:40:50.239+00:00I bet those birds are very grateful for that food ...I bet those birds are very grateful for that food John.

I can’t imagine what it must be like for Bobby’s feet on icy ground.<br /><br />Ah… I came by looking for videos yesterday :-) I enjoyed seeing all your birds feeding in the snow for your Special 'Saturday Matinee'... <i>that's the way you should have sold it ;-)</i><br /><br />I am missing taking videos at the moment. The Woodpigeons do look funny in the deep snow don’t you think? I always think the longer tails of the Blackbirds are a disadvantage in snow and the Starlings with their shorter tails have an easier time of it. <br /><br />Love to see your Tree Sparrows again. I’m keeping an eye out for them here. For the moment we’ve large groups Chaffinches, <br />Goldfinches and Starlings. House Sparrows are there too but I guess there needs to be a bigger group to bring in the Tree Sparrows. Did you spot in my last post that we have Bramblings visiting this week? That’s a first and I was thrilled :-D<br /><br />Catching up on your previous posts, I can see you’ve had a lot of snow in your garden too. Like your Christmas Market so many events are getting cancelled just now. I feel sorry for the people that have been organising and rehearsing for months.<br />Keep safe and warm this Weekend :-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-73470966858220897122010-12-04T08:44:11.814+00:002010-12-04T08:44:11.814+00:00You should have kept quiet John I assumed the Robi...You should have kept quiet John I assumed the Robin was Fridays FlicksADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
