Missing birds.

[GREENWIZARD]

Maybe blackbirds are really fussy and whether or not they get eaten could be dependent on the particular variety put out for them.

my blackies enjoy granny smith,golden delicious,gala,pink lady & macintosh red

OMG   Greenwizard  you must be a vellly velly rich lady to feed them blackys   'Pink Lady'  My OH who thinks he is velly velly reech buys them at 85p each from m&S   Where do they get them prices.  My Blackbirds have scoffed the halfed Golden Delicious apples today.  They are rather partial to halved 'nectarines as well.

Ken.(bit off subject) Fox's is just down the road from me. I came along the by-pass couple of days ago and  Fox's Marina was chock ablock with long boats.  Another place where they moor up is along the river just by the town bridge. Some are so colourful especially in the summer.

Granny Smiths!!! All my birds turn their beaks up at those. Starlings love Cox's, Blackies only just eat them. Have had a bit more luck with Golden Delicious but I'm not buying tasteless apples (I'm a Granny Smith eater) just for the birds.

[Carol]

I only buy Golden Delicious for the Blackys. cos they are the cheapest apples usually.  around 45p a lb.  sometimes I get to the market at Berwick and ask the fruit stall holders for any bashed apples.  They are usually obliging and give me a big bag of apples for a £1.

What a cheek, Carol.  They should give you a £1 to take their waste away!

I went into Tesco yesterday with Hubbie and they had just reduced all their produce.  I picked up 4 Pink Lady apples in a pack for 20p.  I then found 8 Braeburn for 20p but Hubbie said he didn't like them that much and wouldn't be able eat them all so we came away with just the Pink lady.  I don't like raw apples but eat cookers stewed or baked so didn't want any for myself.  Ten miles down the road and I remembered what everyone had said about blackbirds eating apples.  It was too late and too far to go back for them and I was annoyed with myself for not getting them.

Lovely photos GW.  I wish mine turned out as good as yours but it is a new camera and I haven't really got the hang of it yet.
