Layers and layers of cold white frost here this morning, with perfect blue skies. It looks lovely - through the window. ;)

My birds are all tucking in, suet pellets, fat balls, sunflower hearts, mealworms, and fresh water. Plus some raisins on the front lawn for the blackbirds. I can't put them out at the back as they are poisonous to dogs and my Lola would hoover them all up.

We have 3 one really shy squirrel and 2 much bolder braver ones .

We have put out some monkey nuts in a bowl for them .
Watch them rummaging in the bowl choose their nut and sit
with them in their paws happily munching away on them .
Even saw one pass a nut to another !
Their cheeks full of nuts and a look of sheer sublime on their faces .
Chucking their empty shells all over the place - like messy kids .

They sit on our large stone bench under our silver birch trees .
Then they will get onto the bird bath and have a drink .

We also have 3 robins and 9 yep (nine) pigeons come 3 times daily .
Every day they are here 7- 8.30am, 1-1.30pm, 4-4.30pm
Quite amazing with the regularity of them too .

Plus a very territorial blackbird that marches around bossing
and scaring all and sundry off its property !
It sits on our fence - peering into our reading room .
Only a tiny blackbird but it certainly does rule the roost and gardens .

You're lucky to have 3 robins as they usually don't get on with each other. We usually have one robin but sadly not this year. Unfortunately they got caught by the cats but not any more as the cats stay in now as we have had some run over on the road in front of us as the traffic has increased.

Completely off topic, but territorial birds like robins have their own territories, which do not always coincide with our own boundary fences. One robin may have part of your garden and part of next door, whilst another has the other part. They seem to have a line drawn, which is invisible to us, but if one crosses that line there is often murder!.

I have total territotial rights in my home and my garden :D
