With mornings like today - foggy, air frost, just about 2C - our feathered friends appreciate some high energy food to start the day. What better than a fat ball or two? Most times we tend to hang these in nets or specially designed containers. That is fine for the smaller birds who can hang on but often near impossible for ground feeders such as Blackbirds. I have seen them keep flying up, trying to peck off the odd piece before they fall down again.
Recently I have been placing a fat ball or two on the bird table so they can all eat their share:
This female Blackbird was certainly appreciating it.
I shall try and remember to do that! THanks
