Big garden bird watch ... biscuit?

Hi Tom

I have chosen Digestive although I have either a Geo cereal bar in the morning or a chocolate digestive in the afternoon. :-)

I am now visualising all of the Big Garden birdwatchers sitting their with their cups of tea or coffee plus biscuit, watching their gardens. It almost seems bizarre LOL

Shortbread! 

Got to be Bourbon every time! ;-)

its got to be choc chip especially if its home made!!!

Got to be homemade shortbread every time (using Grannies recipe) !!

Hi W and all,

I'm visualising them all making a record of which biscuits they eat, and how many.

And why was Garibaldi not included? I think we should be told.

Taking this entirely too seriously, the thing to remember is to not let the biscuit distract you from the important job of keeping an eye on the birds. One moment's lapse in concentration, and you might miss the moment when a great auk, phoenix or dodo lands in your garden, only to promptly fly off again. (Remember, you can't count birds in flight). So that rules out anything that:

• Is too tasty, as you'll go back to the kitchen for more
• Involves dunking, as you will have to watch it to make sure the end doesn't break off into your drink
• Produces lots of crumbs, both from the risk of them going down the wrong way and prompting a coughing fit, and as you'll have to spend time and attention brushing them off your clothes. And not to forget the wrath of the other half as they find them on the recently cleaned carpet/furniture.

It is clear that a great deal of research is needed on the subject, and I offer my services gladly to investigate such an important issue.
