Yesterday i found my first victim of this extreme cold weather, a little wren frozen to death in a heap of snow outside my door, the snow has been very deep and heavy, several feet still lying in the garden and i wonder how many more are perhaps lying beneath. This winter especially i have put out double the food, plenty hanging feeders for the litle ones, nuts,fatballs and plenty suet blocks but this little fellow just didn,t make it did he, did he fall into the snow and just couldn,t get out or was the -11-13 just too cold for him.
Oh dear poor little thing,that is very sad....Perhaps a cat has got him?.I have been putting extra food out for them,and have been putting plenty down on the ground for ground feeders,also on top of my shed roof. They are flocking to my garden and the food is consumed very quickly.
I do feel for the birds and all animals in this weather...it's very hard for them.

What an awful shame Bobbie. Poor little thing. All we can do is make sure we have food down on the ground (much easier to do when it is icy) as well as in the hanging feeders, and make sure there is a wide variety for all tastes.
Cheers, Linda.

Could it have flown into glass? I found a dead great tit at my local reserve on Sunday and think that he flew into the hide glass and just froze in the snow before recovering...

I was so sorry to hear about the wren. Hubby and I were only saying today that we haven't seen our wren for a while. Hope she hasn't met the same fate.
