Hi Patty17, I enjoy visiting my Dads as you never now whats going to turn up next around his bird feeding area. A cock Pheasant was there 5 minutes after I took this pic so I snapped that aswell.
A kestrel game down a few weeks back while I was there and carried off a mouse that was feeding off the scraps under the bird feeder. I'm used to seeing sparrow hawks shoot past but I was surprised to see a Kestrel so close to his house.
I have a bird feeder in my garden and last year had lots of different birds. However the neighbourhood cats have decided to make my back garden their place to hang out so not getting many birds at the moment. I like cats as well so feel a bit conflicted. I once saw a crow steal a doughnut from a squirrel. The Magpie hops along behind the squirrel stealing the nuts he has just buried. I like animals nice to have something to take my mind off the illness.
Great spotted I expect, when they arrive everything else leaves as their the boss at the table. Funny I always wash my nuts down with some Bulmers Woodpecker cider, well any excuse eh'.
