Thanks for the Perch can just reach the nuts now! Jay

Pretty birds but very unpopular with the others due to their nest raiding habits so I ll be rooting for squirrel.

Well The Jays back again and has brought his mate with him, so I dont think the Squirrel stands much of a chance BB

Ooh lucky you Pp to have a Jay in your garden....I've never seen one close-up!

Lovely to see it close up. I only catch glimpses when we go up towards the woods.

Thanks Janey and Gee Its been back and forth all afternoon and there is now two of them, the nut feeder is empty now so they will have to wait while tomorrow, might be able to get a better picture!

He he he so cute lovely picture

Thanks Morgana very striking bird but a bit of a bully boy too!

Yes I sit and watch birds and you do get the bullies, the nicest pair I ve seen are gold finches where he bought the female to dinner at my bird stations.

Sounds Like Come Dine With Me! they are lovely birds havent seen any around for a while despite putting out niger seeds!

What a shame, hope they come back for you

Me too Morgana!

Perhaps in the spring time the weather might of frightened them back to a warmer country, as I have noticed my nuts and seeds are not being eaten very much like they were, they have been out there for over a week hardly any have been eaten, where as before I was having to fill it every 3rd day.

Just starting to see the small birds returning Morgana, mainly Blue Tits , Chaffinch and Great Tits, perhaphs its been a busy breeding time this year.

That is very good news perhaps it is making the most of it in between a tiny bit of sun and the dull rainy days.

nice close-up PP
