SQUIRRELS



I'm on my second tub of mealworms but the only birds that eat them are the Coal-tits. The strange thing is that on the tub lable there is a picture of the creatures that do eat them, fish, lizards, hedgehogs, squirrels, mice, turtles, tortoise. and what looks like a parrot, and an exotic bird, but "my birds" such as the Great-tit and the robin ignore them to my disapointment, because I know how benificial the meal worms would be to their diet. The squirrels devour them, they can't get enough of this high protein food. Here are a few  different squirrels taken on different days when they arrive on my balcony they head streight for the mealworms, and then the peanuts.





















Saw me here. :)

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

.Very few birds are visiting the feeder these days, but I'm always on the lookout. One day I was looking through the window when I saw a whitish ball perched far away in a tree. I imediately zoomed in with my camera and when I looked at the photos on my computer realised it was a Wood Pigeon, and here are the photos I took. They are usually very shy birds, and often fly away if I get too near to where they are well hidden in a tree, so I was pleased to get just three photos  I took a few photos in the garden after lunch on the first dry day we had had in ages, although we did have a mini shower which lasted about 5 minutes in the morning.
