Feed The Birds

..........and the mice! We buy a large sack of sunflower seeds (they don't like mixed seeds) for the birds and empty it into a plastic dustbin for security. However it is no longer secure. A couple of days ago I went to fill up the bird feeders and thought I saw something move in the bin. It was Mickey who had chewed a hole in the lid. We tipped him out after giving him a talking to. Today however, when I went to fill the feeders I found not only Mickey but Minny as well. They had chewed an even bigger hole in the lid. But don't they look cute.

The hole has been taped up but the pickings are so good that we expect them to find a way around our security measures.

The garden is just beginning to show a bit of colour but a blast of Siberian weather is scheduled for tomorrow. Originally it was forecast for a week but has now been reduced to one day.....we hope.
