Glad to hear the fieldfare is recovering. We have had very few berries this year, where usually our hawthorn hedges are hung with berries, they have been very scant and this must have made it hard for the fieldfares and redwings.

Strangely the wind has been still during the cold, so the feeders haven't been whipped off the branches.<br /><br />9 January 2010 12:20Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-57883256574044900932010-01-09T10:29:04.519-08:002010-01-09T10:29:04.519-08:00Kath - right, that's grated cheese for the wre...Kath - right, that's grated cheese for the wrens. I'll put it in the hedgerow bottom tomorrow - we have a wall/bank/snowberry hedge where they hang out. I've made another 3 fat and seed bombs for them tomorrow, one using the fat from the mince for tea.<br /><br />Aromatic - I just point and click, but having said that, I know what "looks" right, if you're with me. One of these years I shall have a really good camera. We have 3 outside stray cats coming to be fed and 6 inside ones (who barely venture out in this weather) but only VERY rarely do they go after the birds. They prefer to go mousing and voling as we have long grass in the paddock since the horses have gone, so plenty of little squeaky things to hunt.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-12715811168034982272010-01-09T09:40:07.619-08:002010-01-09T09:40:07.619-08:00Your pictures are stunning.. and I adore your head...Your pictures are stunning.. and I adore your header picture! You have a great talent for photography!!!<br />I am continuing to take scraps across the fields for the birds... I will not feed them in my own garden because my cats and next door cats are always looking for an opportunity to catch birds..<br />Jane xxxaromatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447370086320779186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-20083008438648027272010-01-09T08:25:49.657-08:002010-01-09T08:25:49.657-08:00I adore wrens, we have a pair who dart about like ...I adore wrens, we have a pair who dart about like little mice, in the low branches and shrubs. I leave them grated cheese. Today all the birds got the remains of 6 peoples fish and chips!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
