Yep,were kitty luvvers too but although our neighbour has 2 so far they've steered clear of tragedy
It's more birds killing birds at the mo.
We only have 1 bird box up on a silver birch and so far we have seen sparrows attempt to re home
For another brood by kicking out the nuthatches,then the woody sits outside the box peaking in
And the residents go ballistic,this morning we had 2 magpies hanging onto the box and again the nuthatches were going spare,we have a small copse over the back fence and I was going to sneak the ladder out there and put up a few more boxes as there quite cheap at our garden centre.
Wierd thing happened last eve, I was sitting doing a barby and the hatches were feeding madly
1 arrives and takes a pellet of food and almost at the same time a puff of smoke from the barby
Blew around the feeder I can only think the bird was overcome as it sat in the tray for a good 5 minutes.....you know what that was less than 8 feet from where I sat and I just looked on as it sat there blinking with the food in its beak,I couldn't believe how lucky I was to see one of these beautiful birds so up close and personal for so long......Jude became concerned so I stood up and it flew off none the worse.....lovely moment.
