Morning! Hope this cheers you up - or at least makes you laugh. Poor thing!

As seen on yesterday's ride. (yes, I posted this on bikes yesterday...)

Cheers, al.

Thats horrible!

I think from what I have read, birds are really struggling at the moment...

Can't be struggling in my garden, has cost me an arm and leg in bird food lately.
Well worth it though and even had Chaffinches on the feeders, not seen that before

I had hoped this would be about those bikini-wearing sledgers 😐

Is that funny? I've had pigeons fly into a window - being chased I imagine - they leave a ghostly imprint of themselves.

Plenty more where that came from chaps!

We've had loads of Little Brown Jobs in the garden too, the usual sparrows and robins, but also chaffinch, blue tit, coal tit and (my favourite) goldfinch. The robin nesting box is going up this week, so hopefully they'll hang around.

The first morning of the thaw and they all disappeared though! The garden's littered with soggy bread and seeds. Cue large weeds.

al.

Lucky for the pigeon we'd already had kebabs!

It was a good night...

Was there much meat on it to make a nice casserole? Once thawed out of course.
