Some kind sole put out some apples the other day and impaled them on the fence beyond the centre. They were in a nice neat row and looked a little incongruous but the idea of having each one adorned with a Waxwing kept us checking them!
The visiting Blackbirds did however find them and spent Monday hollowing them out!
There may not be much snow on the ground round here but it is still cold so do not forget to stick some fruit (even raisins) out and do not forget the all important fresh water!
