I have never been a bird person, in fact I could not see what people saw in sitting for hours waiting to get a shot of some unknown un heard of ball of feathers.
However, this year I started placing feeders, hangers for suet, peanuts and more in the garden and throwing fat balls out, and now I actually enjoy sitting with a coffee and a pair of binoculars.
I have NO idea what the birds are other than the tits, jays and blackbirds, robins, but they are soooo interesting to watch.
Ok, I never will have that mad passion some have but they really do give pleasure don't they, and cost a r***y fortune at pets at home.
I have a stash of 5 tubs of fat balls, peanuts seeds and black sunflower seeds, which the local mice have taken an interest in along with the fox and badger
