Cheeky Birds-grrrrrrrrrrrr
« on: April 19, 2009, 19:04:05 »
Sparrows and blue tits have  decided, this year,  to use the coconut matting, lining my half baskets. for their nests.  Why, this year I have no idea, unless of course the matting is now to their liking after a couple of years!

Our front garden is a one stop shop for the birds. There are 7 feeding stations & a container with hanging basket wool in it. They do look funny taking it, they pull so hard with their beaks they look as if they are about to do a backward flip ;D.

Our mossy rocks around the pond are gradually being stripped too. It's amazing the strength and the carrying weight of those little bluetits!

I watched one help himself, but he was very good and only took a little of the frayed bit.  Bless.
