Fairy, I've found that the long tailed tits are feeding mainly from the pink fat block. The peanuts are about 18 inches from that and sunflower seeds 5 feet away
Joyce - one was on the peanut feeder, and when they both went in the cage, one was on the suet block and one was at the seed feeder just in front of it. I've got a separate sunflower feeder just outside the cage too - in case the goldies come back and are a bit shy of the cage.
I'm assuming they're a 'pair' as there was only the two of them - no others in sight. Would be lovely if your pair nest. Isn't it funny how much pleasure you can get from something so small and simple
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A lovely afternoon here, so I took some photos in the garden so I know where to put more bulbs next autumn. Couldn't actually do gardening cos I was busy - plus I cut a finger quite badly yesterday while I was pruning, and I daren't get it mucky.
Wonky, your progress is remarkable! That soil looks nice, so presumably you've managed to get rid of the rubble and the ground elder double quick. Congrats on the greenhouse, too!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I came in from the garden cuz it for dark...been busy again!
The ground is levelled, the lawn seed is sown, and I made a bench and tested it with a cuppa, very comfy!
Clari, I get the impression we are birds of a feather, ones that are cropped with the kitchen scissors that is !
Dove, I'm sure there will be a small corner for your delicates!
Obelixx, donkeys sound a fantastic idea, hope you manage to find a sanctuary that is more helpful.
Hope your having a lovely time in Norfolk BusyL
Fantastic picture if nuthatches Fairy lucky thing!
Pdoc, sounds like you have had a lovely day in the garden
Joyce, I have a pealworm and peanut fatblock and I've had a couple of long tailed tits on there! Lovely aren't they
Auntyrach and Chicky, what beautiful pictures of camelias, I adore them but don't have the budget to afford one that won't take an eternity to bloom and don't have the patience to wait for a tidler!
Night Pat.
Have a nice time on Nana duty Yvie, don't get too worn out!
Chicken curry, rice and peas.....and slob! Night all
Hello Lirio, sounds like you've been busy too! the soil is fantastic here, I'm really blessed! Think its just as well as my garden has to be quite forgiving what with me still learning, but then, aren't we always!
Ha ha Wonky - talk about one-upmanship . You heard about my freebie lean-to greenhouse and just had to go one better didn't you? Looks like you're going great guns on that garden - love the pergola and bench. Where's the greenhouse going to live?
And hello to everyone else too . I now can't remember what I've already said, let alone who else has said what, but the overwhelming impression I'm getting is that spring has sprung (well, maybe it's just working up to it for Fairy, Joyce et al) and that everybody is full of the joys and very busy in their gardens.
Rendang curry for tea in a bit. Yum. Yes I know we eat very late, but this is still quite early for us.

I'm hoping they might nest.
