Hello everyone
As a keen birdwatcher particularly, but a nature lover especially, it is becoming very difficult for some of our garden birds to forage in frozen temperatures.
Please put aside any scraps you may have for them. Normally white breat would not be beneficial for birds, but today I made a feast fit for a king - well, maybe a blackbird lol. by frying some bread, chopping some peanuts (please rinse of excess salt), currents, the bacon rind off my breakfast, and chooped an apple into tiny bits and coarse chunks - something for everyone.
This will hopefully be rewarded with a splash of colour on a freezing dull day. If possible, please put out some tepid water - and replace/replenish regularly as it will freeze!
I might keep a list of critters seen visiting as like a lot of people, we are currently stranded!
Ironically the fat that we are avoiding will give the birds reserves and get them through the winter!
