It’s been unusually cold round here recently!

My wife works hard to make our garden tumble and integrate. Shrubs, trees, ivy and many safe places to make nests. And garden furniture to crap on.

Overwhelmed by cooking apples last autumn, many lie rotting on the ground, desperate to have their goodness recycled by Mother Earth.

But for the first time, Fieldfares and Redwings are making things tough for our regulars, their cousins, the Blackbirds. Scraps over scraps of apple are rife.

And the battleground... looks crappy too! But what can we expect, as they’re all part of the ‘Turdus’ family
