First Come First Served

Standing back in the shadows of the conservatory bundled up against the cold with the door wide open, I needed a blip!

Setting up the bird table, I liberally sprinkled in abandon a mesmerising selection of bird treats, put suet balls in the ring feeder, nuts in the holder and little mealworms for the robin, all just in case anything should pay my bistro a visit. An appetising feast I thought in the cold and miserable weather.

The tantalising lures worked and bang on cue up popped this rather gorgeous female great spotted woodpecker who in seconds grabbed a nut, cocked her head and saw me, then winged it over the hedge! My blip!
