Look what we got!

Remember that I said we'd been puttiing Morgan's puppy fluff out in the garden in a peanut holder?

We've had several birds visiting it and taking fluff, in fact we've had to re-fill it.

Look what we saw yesterday afternoon!

A golfinch who visited at least 3 times! Its mate was sitting on a branch above just watching!

Brilliant! Clever birds

I put heaps of cat fluff out but it was completely ignored . . . ended up soaking wet and stuck to the paving all over the garden

He looks a bit like Santa!
You'll need to grow teazels now, so they can feed off the seed heads - or perhaps you already feed them Niger seed?

They are just sooooo sweet aren`t they these little birds and they work so hard when nesting and feeding their little chicks when they arrive, there is nothing better than sitting in the garden watching the wee little birdies and of course my cats

That's a great picture Mrs H! Those little birds do work so hard and it's nice to think their little chicks will have a soft lining to their nest.

Thanks pookyandjo, we tried to snap them through the living-room window but it wasn't a good shot (and the window was dirty so that didn't help!)

OH sat in the car in the drive with the window down and just waited till they came back so that he could get a clear shot.

Angieh - I too hope their chicks will be nice and warm, I like to think of them as snuggled up in a doggie duvet!

Yola - I'm sorry the birds ignored your cats' fluff, they don't know what they're missing!

Thats a brilliant picture, never thought of putting the fur in a feeder, really good idea....

alexgirl73 · 29-04-2009, 01:44 PM

excellent pic and idea! I too put my cats fluff out lol, but was never taken. Will put it in a spare feeder later

Excellent idea putting the fur in the feeder, mine has also ended up untouched in the hedge!

Your photo would be worthy of any bird magazine, MrsH ........ I would submit it and give it a try..
