Peanut Success

Peanut success

It was snowing all yesterday in rural Worcestershire, UK, so the peanut feeder was especially busy. This industrious blue tit was very pleased with its success.

This is such a good photo! It was only frosty here, but enough that our pond froze over. We put out some warm water in an old bird bath and it got faintly mobbed, although mostly by blackbirds who scared off the other birds.

It didn't get quite that cold here, but I definitely heard about it from coworkers. We thought about digging out our old birdfeeders and buying some seed, but our garden is in the process of being turned into a wildflower meadow, so we didn't want to add extra seeds into the mix this year. Water, we've been doing, though.
