Its not nice times for all of us, reserves closed, many having to go into self isolation and much more.
James, may I apologise first, with your intended house move now on hold and all your feeders taken down in preparation, I do feel for you.
I know a good many of the community members are now concentrating more on their garden birds and feeders, and I was sort of hoping that a thread dedicated to the current situation may help to take some of the sting away.
Birds, and even mammals, particularly squirrels, will frequent our feeders to get their nutrients, and some take interesting chances to get their feed, so ~I thought starting a thread where all can share their photos may just put some cheer back in the world.
An articulate magpie after a coconut half....
And lastly, a blackbird trying to get on to a feeder, almost managing it, but not quite!
Stay safe folks, and please feel free to share, no matter how good the quality is, lets bring a smile back to this world.

Always need one of a grey squirrel!.....or 2!
Tooooooo close?
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Twas a busy afternoon on the feeders, the short time I was out in the garden.
Dunnock after ground feeding....
All three were taking it in turn to feed....
I think the robin got a bit tired of taking his turn, or, spotted something more appetising on the ground...
And for the encore, a blackbird after the nugget slab....
Up we gooooooooooooo.......

I witnessed an unusual activity yesterday, two blue tits either feeding each other or sharing food. This is one time I wish I'd had the camcorder charged up.
A search on the web didn't reveal anything, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm interested.
First one on the feeder
Then the second joined on the same peg. From here, the photos are in sequence of the feeding activity between the two....
