The freezing temperatures last night made for hungry birds today - my "pet" robin fed from my hand twice today Big Grin

Usually he waits for the mealworms to wriggle out of my hand so he can fly down and pick them up, but today he was just too impatient!
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile

Also heard lapwings this morning behind the house. May be they will stick around and nest there.

There's a wren making a nest in old broken walking boot that I tied to the pergola  Smile  Everybody ignored the boots last spring!

My "pet" robin is getting increasingly bold! He let me take his photo today while he waited for his morning mealworms:

   

He now regularly takes them from my hand, provided no-one else is around Big Grin

I seen your photo of the boot nest on Instagram PP, looks lovely
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

No sign of the wren today Sad
Apparently the male makes several nests and the female selects the best. Perhaps she didn't fancy spending so much time where MrPP's feet had previously been!!

Our resident robins appear to have fledged their first chicks - I spotted one in the pyracantha this morning, while feeding their dad!

2 goldfinch feeding off our new niger seed bird feeder. Also, our solo swallow has been singing his heart out on the electricity wires and has at last been rewarded with a mate.
