I never feed the birds - we have a very woodland like garden with a variety of trees and surrounding wild hedges that attract and feed the birds, from the hawthorn that the doves & pigeons love to eat the buds in May through to the apples & plums in autumn. The garden is full of insects that attract the bats as well. We have several species that nest every year, blue tits in the boxes, blackbirds, wrens & robins in the hedges and doves, magpies and pigeons in the trees.
The problem is that they have such good cover that getting a clear shot of them is usually only possible if they are at the bird baths or the pond.
Sounds perfect. I am inclined not to do so as well, but I am afraid if I didn't feed them the wife wouldn't feed me.
I am happy to prepare my own meals ...but she won't let me in HER kitchen.
