Jackdaw |
At the home we moved to a couple of
years back, just before I was taken seriously ill, we see far fewer smaller birds. They are around, but don't seem to be attracted to the
bird table or nut feeders. We also see no squirrels. We get a reasonable number of small birds in
the garden and nearby such as dunnocks (hedge sparrows), great tits and
blue tits, robins etc. Maybe they visit other bird tables or find food
naturally very locally?
Our nut feeders seem to attract larger birds in the main like pigeons
and collared doves. We have lots of trees and other cover in the garden and nearby.
Every morning
at much the same time we get jackdaws on the bird table. We have red
legged partridges in the road most days and we have even had mallard
ducks in the garden.
