blackbird enjoying apple

when you feel down take a look outside...nature will uplift you

  • Hi daisy, good to see them enjoying the fruit, Mrs Grandpaddy had a surplus of apples from our fruit trees this year ,more than needed so we saved them and I cut them in half and stake them out on the bushes down the garden sides ,they attract Blackbirds ,siskins and at time field fares and red-wing

    and onto the bird table

    all along the hedgerow

    Regards Mick

    Work is for those people that don't Bird-watch!!!!

    My Blackbirds are fighting like hell over the apples just now.

    Looks like you have a country estate for you garden Mick, looks lovely

    Fabulous garden!!! brilliant pics. i always put out an apple for the badger and it gets finished off by the birds in the morning. i've just bought a hanging stake thing (not really sure what to call it lol) and the birds have been enjoying the fruit from there.
