I had expected it to be a House Sparrow or Blue Tit not ......
...... a Magpie.
It did its best to get its head through the bars but left empty beaked.
As far as I could tell it was the only visitor.
There were no beak marks in any of the jars of peanut butter.
Early days yet. It had only been up for a few hours.
The bird table has had lots of activity, mainly House Sparrows, Starlings and Blue Tits.
An occasional visitor is a Coal Tit.
As is usual at this time of year the Coal Tit will take black Sunflower seeds and hide them in the ground or in a crevice in a tree trunk. I have watched them do both in previous Winters.
It will find a way.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time I don't have a bird feeder now John. I am too old to go out in the really cold weather to fill it up so I have decided not to start. Then the little birds will not get used to it and then miss it when they really need it.
