Subject: RE: BS: Which birds come a-visiting you?
Hi
We have Blackbirds - male & female - Thrushes - Collered Doves - pigeons - a pair of robins....Mr Robin in bright red plumage - Blue tits - Great tits - an occasional magpie - an even more occasional crow - and in the last couple of days a pair of wagtails.
We live in the middle of Cheshire too loke Dave and we too get loads of starlings but surprisingly few sparrows.
There has been snow on the ground here for about a week and ever more birds are coming to my bird feeding table.
I put out lots of bird nuts and wild bird seed. I also put out any bread and other left-overs. I treat them to a few Rich Tea Biscuits and yesterday I put out the scraps of a stilton cheese we had over the holiday...they left the bread nuts and biscuits for the cheese !!!
