Breakfast in Timperley



Mealworm heaven this morning. Our resident blackbirds are ever vigilant and rarely take more than a few minutes to spot replenishment of their provisions. This chap is nearly always quicker of the mark than his missus, the greedy wood pigeons, the grey squirrel that is frequently stalked by a neighbour's cat, and the robins and sparrows that also live here.


The blackbird can be seen in the next picture. Meanwhile a variety of tits and finches gorge on the nuts that dangle from our squirrel proof washing line.

Do you get any hedgehogs when they are out of hibernation?

Phreerunner said...

Yes, hedgehogs do visit us. They live in a garden across the road and come to us for food.

I assumed that was a take on 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'
Are you participating in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch scheme this weekend?
It's snowing up here also.

Ha, Tiffany's - too subtle for me to have thought of that!

We will participate in the Garden Bird Watch - it's next weekend, though this morning in the frost would be a good time to do it.
