IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG for the birds to get used to the
new position of the feeders. The goldfinches were soon at the
sunflower hearts again, hopefully now safely out of danger of colliding with
our patio windows.
The
brood of pheasants was back again and we noticed that one bossy
female spent all her time pecking at her fellow females so that the motion of
these 5 hens around the feeder made me dizzy. One of the males will come and
stand with them, so it looks like a folk dance with the females circulating
around him.
It
hasn't taken the sparrowhawk long to locate it either. The
handle on the nyger feeder is his (or her, this was a large brown bird) favourite
perch.
