| Christmas Palm House |
Why is it that
the minute you walk out into the cold you need a pee! Fortunately for me my local destination of Sefton Park is well facilitated!
Today was a
recce to check out the 3 RSPB bird tables in the Palm House Grounds. They were foodless but structurally ok for
our next event the ‘RSPB'S BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH’ on Sunday 20th January
Needless to
say they were stocked when I left… Mixed seed, peanuts and a bit of stale bread.
Woodpigeon was down first, won’t take him long to shift that lot. One of the
tables is being swamped by Rhododendron some maybe the little un’s will stand a
better chance there!
On to the feeding station behind the Palm house.
The feeding line was well stocked by some kind soul. Lots of visitors Great, Blue, Coal and Long
tailed tits, Chaffinches, Robins, Nuthatches, Jays, Magpies and 2 squeaky dog Ring
necked Parakeets. Squirrels and pigeons
everywhere of course.

Onward to
the Lakes, for a spot of duck feeding, I can’t help myself I just love having
the palm of my hand tickled by tiny and not so tiny beaks!! As usual there where hundreds of raucous black headed gulls and an army
of Coots, plenty of Moorhens, Mallards, Canadian Geese and of more 22 Mute Swans, 9 Little Grebes, 1 male Pochard, and a female Mandarin Duck.
