On Christmas Morning, before we partook in our festive breakfast repast of a bacon, and fried egg muffin with tomato sauce accompaniment (as part of our rigid five a day regime)….. I hung up the bird feeder that I had asked Father Christmas for …………
I put it on a branch near the lounge window so that I could watch the toing and froing of the birds without frightening them, and then I came back inside ……..
……. and OMD, within a minute or two I had my first visitor ……
It was an emotional, festive Bird Watching Magazine/Bill Oddie type moment for me ……. this will certainly be a present that will just keep giving, so long as I maintain a good supply of fat balls for my new found friends …….
…… and hopefully, I will soon become cognisant with the various breeds that visit it/me….. something I can pass on to Nigel, because at the moment the only bird he really recognises is Big Bird from Sesame Street …. however, if he (Big Bird), came to peck at my balls I think we would all be very taken aback and not a little overwhelmed!!!

So you need a regular supply of fat balls?
Birds like your fat balls?
Ooh err missus.
I think we ALL would be surprised if Big Bird had a peck at your balls too. JantheFan x

Great gift that was.....very calming to watch the birds visit.....they do need help with food when they face cold weather.....you will soon be ticking off the various birds in your guidebook as they come to dine at Castle Greysquirrel.....it will be THE place to dine as word gets around the bird world!.....Birds love peanut butter on pine cones or toast soldiers but not sure about Marmite! Love my Marmite keyring you sent me; my little bit of England......have fun birdwatching....Dianne
