More baby birds!
We have more baby goldfinches in our garden, and they are eating as if there is no tomorrow! Paul has had to replenish their supply of sunflower seeds, but even with a large and small feeder, there is still a lot of squabbling with the greenfinches for a position on the feeders. We had about 16 birds on the feeders last night, plus another 12 or so waiting in the tree, and 4 on the nut feeder with a queue of little birds along the fence for the nut feeder. Bill and I sat and drooled, but we weren't allowed to go anywhere near them. We thought our luck had changed when a baby goldfinch crashed into the window, and sat stunned on the patio - we just needed to open the window and snaffle it, but we were locked in the house and instructed NOT TO MOVE! Just as we were thinking our lunch would be a tasty little goldfinch, it got up and flew away! Bum, we had to make do with baked beans instead :-(
