Junior Snowdrift


Junior Snowdrift

A very junior snowdrift in my "squirrel-proof" nut feeder - which I don't use because it's nothing of the kind.

lol. well, I can't compete with wide-open-spaces-swathed-in-white-grandeur, so I thought I'd scale down a bit. No idea what caused the "drift" - I moved the feeder carefully to find a decent angle to photograph it from, it still stuck there with very little visible means of support!

lol SS!
I see a bit of stained glass....

that's a buterfly put on the cage, for some reason - stained plastic, at least.

went out this morning, no drift, but a lump of snow on a box under the feeder; it must have slimmed down enough to fall through the gap

probably, it was a bit mushy at 08015 this am - if I'd thought, I could have chucked it in my "pond" and recycled it. ah well, I'll try to remember next time

Where's your pond?...piccy please!

lol it's been in the periphery of other pics - and I pointed it out in one blog. can't remember which - it's an old blue baby bath that I'm going to recycle as soon as I can find the right place for it, and get it properly insulated all round. For now, it's my water reservoic

ah, just looked - Starter for 12

as a ps, this feeder was sold to me as "squirrel-proof". the squirrels had no trouble getting into it! I thought about putting wire round it to make the gaps smaller; how small, any ideas? or, to turn it round, how big a gap does your average wild bird need? at least one who'd be interested in nuts?
