Jaaa, de koolmezen zijn aan het inrichten! Bóssen mos gaan erin! Ze waren me steeds te snel af, maar nu zat ik klaar! #tuingelukjes #gardenbirds

Our cat has a hobby - watching the mice at the base of our bird feeder. She's got no interest in the birds, just the mouse family. Occasionally she'll bring one home to play with, until it dies (maybe of boredom or exhaustion?).

I've just moved the bird feeder because I've seen a mouse running up the feeder pole to get to the seed - and I consider that to be cheating.
It's going to confuse Kit the Cat but it can't be helped.

And when these seed feeders are empty I'm not refilling them in line with the RSPB advice, just the fat balls.

First doves I've seen in the yard, and it was a pair of Eurasian collared doves. Surprise! 📷🌿🪶

I've seen a lot of people sharing the new #RSPB guidelines on what and when to feed #GardenBirds and the need to clean feeders, but less on how to actually clean them so here are the instructions from the RSPB: https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/feeding-birds-near-you/keep-your-garden-birds-healthy

Expert advice on cleaning bird feeders

By keeping our feeders and bird baths clean, we can help to keep our garden birds healthy and disease free. Here’s how!

Common for many but, a rare visitor in our garden, nice to see .... or not :) #birds #birdwatching #gardenbirds #birdphotography
Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) with nesting material in my garden. Makes its nest from lichen, moss, and hairs. Nice to have in the garden ☺️ @[email protected] @[email protected] #gardenbirds #nature #birds
Every now and then I get around taking photos of birds in my in-law‘s garden. Two weeks ago I managed to catch this eurasian tree sparrow during his short stop-over near a feeder. I was told it‘s too cold and windy to sit outside and wait for birds. But that was exactly my point: The best opportunities arise during early spring or late fall. When it’s still too cold for people to be active in their backyards they aren‘t scaring birds away either!
