I'm watching Winter Watch and I thought their comments on garden birds was totally opposite to what is going on in our garden .
Nothing eats Niger seeds ! Or for that matter mixed seed ! Maze hearts are the favourite food . Ever since we have put that food out we have had finches visiting our feeders . Mainly Goldfinches, we sometimes get Chaffinches but not many and very rarely Greenfinches. We have a couple of Great Tits and also a couple of Blue Tits . Sometimes a Coal Tit . Long Tailed Tits will sometimes visit the garden in small flocks and just visit our hedges. I haven't seen any Wagtails in our garden this year . Or any Black Caps . The Blackbirds are gathering at the moment several are migrants .

The last of the alphabet soup this evening, followed by Coquilles St Jacques, roasted baby plum tomatoes and bread & butter to soak up all the sauce and pan juices.

Yeah, nothing eats niger seed here either. I gave up after one try. Mixed seed is so-so, a lot gets chucked overboard and attracts the rats. Best results here are sunflower seed, peanuts and fat balls.
Though I haven't had a bird feeder up for a while, as I'm sick and tired of the rats and squirrels trashing the feeders. Having said that, I miss wetting myself with laughter watching the pesky buggers trying to climb a freshly-greased pole...

I am now watching the Jay Blades programme about him learning to read. My wife said that I am a bit dyslexic . I had problems years ago trying to read Ariadne. I didn't half have fun reading Homer's The Iliad. I skipped some of the pages of the black walled ships .

Different here, the niger seed feeder is mobbed with finches. Usual culprits on the fat balls, seed and peanuts including woodpeckers and nuthatch. The dried mealworms get sweat up by the local family of 5 magpies leaving the scraps for the several Robins.

Today has been a very good day.
Ribble have confirmed that they have processed my Cycle to Work voucher and all I've got to do now is wait until August for delivery
My partial retirement request appears to have been formally accepted as it has been forwarded on to the Pensions Team to process the details and work out the exact figures for my pension & lump sum options.

Judging by what my colleagues went through before I got to work today, I think Wazzock Wednesday would have been more appropriate.
Why is it that there's always one day per week when everything seems to go wrong or all the people you have to deal with appear to have been replaced with numpties? And why is it never the same day of the week?

No it wasn't that Chile.
The Goldfinches used to tuck into niger seeds but they barely touch them now. Nothing ate the mixed seed so I gave the bag to my daughter to try in her garden.
Suet fat balls get eaten quickly, too. Usually by the Starlings, Bluetits & Robins. The Goldfinches feed on sunflower hearts, helped by the tits and Robins.
Pigeons wander around the base of the feeder hoovering up anything that drop, helped by the sparrows.

finally got my salami & cheese, altho not provolone. stopped in a convenience store, for a Snickers bar, on my way to a haircut & saw a snack PKG of the meat & cheese so I grabbed that instead of the Snickers. not quite like Ma's deli, but it'll do
