Whilst preparing the seasonal turkey curry and turkey stock, I left the turkey carcass in the garden and watched as a series of birds fed on the meat or the nut feeders. After several nights of heavy frost, the birds were eager to feed rapidly, preparing for another cold night. The more food, the more enrgy and the better they will survive the minus temperatures.
In all, the garden list was: blue tit, jackdaw, wren, lesser black backed gull (over heading east), wood pigeon, greenfinch, chaffinch, robin, coal tit, blackbird, starling, collared dove, house sparrow and great tit. A few photos here, taken as I sat outside.
