| Where they go?
Hi all it's been an interesting winter. In the last year I dug out a pond and watched that take hold with new wild life moving in - frogs, water boatman, damson flies etc. I'm hoping they all return again this year. Then I started putting food out for the birds - not that there was any to start! Then came the magpies shortley followed by some jackdaws and a couple of doves/wood pigeons. Then I invested in a bird table in November - wow, within two weeks came the black birds then a robbin then just before the snow this year I had seen two black caps and dunnocks a starlin and another I didn't reconise. Since the snow has gone all I have only seen the two black birds and the robbin.
Can anyone explain why the others should just vanish over night or has anyone experienced the same?
I can see pleanty flying overhead and hear other birds in the background but never in the garden.
The food is always fresh and a chioice of pleanty - differant seads, pellets, meal worms, fat balls etc. A few hedges/ trees to sit and be safe in.
I look forward to your ideas and thoughts  |
