Well,
December did give us two hours of snowfall - but as you can see, not
much of it laid and stayed - BOO! The garden was not frozen enough
for it to disrupt the birds however, which was one good point - even
if some of us humans were hoping to be building a snowman!
As
you can see by this female blackbird, there was still food around to
be found. Mr Bob put in frequent appearances in the back yard. He is
one of the few birds to be there EVERY day. Today for instance, the
final Friday of the month and year, Mr Bob, Plateface the winter-only
thrush, Beatie the blue tit and a handful of starlings were all that
was seen in an entire hour.
On
NYE I looked out of the kitchen window, shortly before doing a load
of laundry and spotted the jay back in the yard, eyeing the food
supply.
After
he took a good look all around - at the four food options and the
peanuts spilled on the ground when I refilled the container
yesterday, he decided to eat a dozen or so peanuts out the feeder -
then to fly down and pick up 2-3 more before flying away.
Finally,
please sign
THIS petition to stop Trump harming migratory birds.
