Simple things make me happy, part 2. Like feeding the birds. I have 3 hanging feeders in the garden that I keep topped up with sunflower seeds, peanuts and suet balls.
 A gaggle of goldfinches are particularly raucous when they come to feed, tits flit back and forth, sparrows come and go and even robins have a peck. The smaller birds slip in and out of the bars with no difficulty. Bits and pieces of food drop to the ground where they're mopped up by the larger ground feeding birds like blackbirds and wood pigeons.
 The caged feeders are a necessity round here otherwise squirrels and parakeets will scoff the lot.

 Postscript  I posted this entry a few hours ago and I'm happy to say a woodpecker just came to the join the party!
