All New 4 Seasons Mix

After several trials at finding a right mix that works for me, i believe that i have come up with a formulae that produces close to zero waste. In fact during my trials i have had no waste.

The changes i made was to leave out the kibbled peanuts and sunflower hearts. In its place i introduced a product called "Ground Treats". These are suppose to mimic insects that bird eat.

The ingredients now are:-

Suet pellets.

Dried mealworms.

Mixed dried fruit.

Currants.

Ground treats.

This mix would suit a wide variety of garden birds.

Gourmet Food

My regular blackbird has been frantically collecting food to take back to its young. Seems it has rearing a second brood, but have never seen any of the fledgelings from the first.

Has taken a fancy to beef mince, must look like worms, feel like worms, and perhaps tasted better. Theres no accounting for taste.

wish the hedge was thicker

This poor little thing looks absolutely miserable in the rain. Must have thought the new hedge might give it some cover.

One of the fledgelings that come into the garden.

Goldfinches

Looking out the kitchen window and was lovely to see these two goldfinches.

Not regular every day visitors to the feeders. But when they do call is always a welcome sight. Shot through the net curtain so not the greatest pic.

Interesting light

Took this photo early in the morning. As can be seen the light is coming from the left. I pressed the lens right up against the net curtain. Has given it quite a nice affect. The different colours in the background is reflected light from parked cars.

Yummy Mealworms

This cheeky little thing thought it would have a tuck in before the hedgehog came for supper. Just love the way it is balancing on the edge of the dish.

Was Playing

cat and mouse with this little thing. It kept darting out and back again. But with more patience than a saint did manage to get this.

Its a cute little thing, and is very welcome...in the garden that is.
