hi mate nice pics there jon

 

Thank you.

 

A few more from this morning.

 

 

 

 

Sorry about the dark pictures, my feeder is on the north side of the house so the light is limited this time of year.

I learned today that little birdies can only go about 24 hours without food so please keep it up. I also learned that ivy covered trees are massively important for these little critters. I guess there is a lot of shelter there and plenty of grubs and insects under the leaves.

 

I spent pretty much the whole of last weekend on the sofa staring at tits.

Lucky you...

 

Ivy can be a lifesaver for bees too: it's about the only thing with nectar in January/February if there's a warm spell that wakes them up. Note 'if' there's a warm spell...

We keep Bees and your spot on. Flowering Ivy is a life saver during pollen drought. An old saying for bee keepers is that for foraging bees, trees are the supermarkets and flowers are simply the corner shop.

Our bees are all tucked up hopefully keeping the hive at the necessary constant temperature. As such we are helping by giving them sugar fondant or sugar solution to help them through till it warms up. Got to be above 10 degrees for them to get out and about.

Ours love himalayan balsam- big no no to the enviro bods but for bees its a must.
