Went into the kitchen to make tea. I have a sweet little holly tree outside the kitchen window, only 6 or 7 feet high, in which I have hung a niger feeder, a seed feeder, a peanut feeder, a hollow log full of fat,and two block holders, with two different types of fat block, plus two half coconut shells I fill with fat and seeds on the adjacent wrought iron gate. Busy in the tree were dunnocks, goldfinches, blue tits, great tits, male and female black-caps, long-tailed tits, and a robin. (They obviously hadn't invited the green finch.) And that is just putting out food from last October and making sure it's always full. (When we moved in we had only dunnocks and blue tits, and the occasional great tit, not that I'm decrying them!)
Isn't that great?
So anyone with a small garden, how about one or two tiny holly trees? I wish I'd realised when I had a small concrete square! I'd have had one in a tub!
And I've taken my laptop into the sunroom, and they are all outside these windows too, winter jasmine in flower, some sort of bush honeysuckle coming into flower, sunshine, blue sky, white doves circling around the valley below, a cup of tea, and a plate of watercress, tomatoes, oatmeal bicuits, double gloucester cheese, date chutney! Dog asleep at my feet! Smashing!
