| Re: Bird of the day!
My bird of the day could be the birds of the 'weeks'.
At the beginning of the year I moved one of my seed feeders to the corner of my garden as my neighbour was removing a Leylandii that had got out of control.
Any way, after the moving the feeder I added a suet cake, containing nuts and insects, to the stand. Within a few days I spotted a male Blackcap feeding. He returned everyday and was seen frequently throughout the day. After about a 10 days a second male turned up and they seemed to be quite happily taking it in turns to feed on the cake. A day or so later a female arrived and took her turn on the feeder. No matter the time of day I see them. It is interesting; though there is sufficient perch room for them to feed at the same time they never do. They always take it in turns. Not like the Starlings who squabble over the cake and still manage to feed, all at the same time. |
