I can barely keep up with the demand for bird seed, peanuts and fat feasts in the garden at the moment. This jay is a regular visitor and looks all set to survive the cold snap given its size!
It was estimated that during The Great Freeze of 1963, half of Britain's bird population perished in the cold. So although no longer tuppence a bag I'm happy to keep replenishing the feeders; not only can we experience the satisfaction of helping them through the Winter but it's always a pleasure to look out of the window and see so many different birds in the garden.
