I hope all’s well…<\/p>\n
So Christmas is behind us and we are already well into 2022 and with fingers crossed, hope for a more positive year ahead. So far, the new year winter weather at home has been relatively mild, although some cloud-free days have meant we’ve seen quite a few frosty mornings. I love being out on a crisp Alpine-like morning, blue skies, low rising winter sun and frost-dusted plants – as long as I’m well wrapped up and look where I tread! (More on that later \ud83d\ude41 ).<\/p>\n
As regular readers know, I love filming wildlife and I don’t always have to don my camouflage and wait for hours outside to enjoy it! I have a simple bird feeding station set up at home allowing me to hang four feeders on. I positioned it towards the edge of the lawn, not too close to my mature shrub borders but importantly within easy sight from my living room and kitchen. Many species prefer to perch on a branch nearby, checking for predators before flying onto the feeders. Some stay a few seconds, where others will hog the feeders for many minutes.<\/p>\n
