I was pleased to see this male chaffinch on the nijer feeder this morning: we still have a bag full of the seed and it was good to know that we had a potential for a much expanded market for it amongst the chaffinch population - until I noticed....
....a pair of goldfinches waiting patiently in the tree for a turn on the feeder. Happily....
....the chaffinch moved on and one of the goldfinches enjoyed a brief meal, hopefully enough to persuade the pair to come back for more.
Food is very much on the minds of a pair of blackbirds in the garden. I had cause to water the lawn this afternoon and this brought the worms to the surface, much to this male's benefit. They obviously have hatchlings nearby which are fine in the warm weather we're currently enjoying but, by the standards of the north of Scotland, it is still very early in the season and - heaven forbid - the weather may yet turn cold.
