Peanuts Galore

My blip today came about because one of the squirrels emptied the peanut feeder out onto the ground.  Almost straight away we had birds arriving to take advantage of it, and I'm thinking it might not be a bad tactic for encouraging them in future.   Ignore the previous (I've been advised not to do this between March & September as young birds can choke on whole nuts.

It's a dull and dreary day so the light isn't all that good, but in a short space of time it was lovely to see so many different sorts of feathered friends.

Thank you to everyone who wrote such kind words in my journal yesterday; it was a sad day but not unexpected.  Your words were greatly appreciated.
