Today it has been raining fairly solidly and, unusually, I have not taken a single photograph.
On Saturday when it was cold and icy I put out some extra food on the rail of the decking and on a plate on the decking itself so that there was food available for all the birds.
The arrival of this pair of bluebirds to eat the seed on the rail was great to see - they only visit in the winter and it is always a thrill to see their surprising bright colours!
The plate of food on the decking soon attracted the attention of a squirrel who claimed it for his own and defended it while he picked out and nibbled his favourite seed. That wasn't really the intention but we tend to declare a truce when it is very cold and not chase them away..
