| 14:30 | Arriving in my garden daily, as they have been since mid-summer, in waves of 60+ at a time, the remainder perched in surrounding trees and roofs. They go bonkers for suet pellets which I have two feeders for, and although I buy in bulk it's still costing me a small fortune, but hey, it's nice to see such numbers, I used to be lucky to get 3 or 4! | |||
