With another downfall of snow, a bemused blue tit looks down in wonder as to what has happened with the cage feeder? It does not take long before the culprit re-emerges. A hungry corvid dangles precariously from the feeder. I would have thought that this bird would be happier feeding on the ground? There was plenty of spilt seeds on the lawn, but this one was adamant it wanted what was in that cage.

I recently managed to buy an old wire window box which I painted up and installed a few lavender plants that will look nice in the coming summer.

The snow did not last long today and melted as quickly as it arrived. We are still in for a very cold week. The birds will be thankful of anything extra us ‘gardeners’ put out for them.
