General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Next week end is the annual bird survey. I am led to believe you count the number of birds which land on your property over a 1 hour period. We face our side garden when we are eating and through the window we can see our bird table. Earlier in the year I had 3 feeders hanging from the table 1 full of suet/mealy worm 1 with fat balls and the other with wild bird food also any bread scraps went onto the table Most of this food got eaten within minutes of being put out mainly by starlings. Now I have had to take the wild bird feeder off because the seed was sprouting and any food scraps I remove at the end of the day. We may see 1 or 2 starlings on the feeders and the gulls flying around but every thing else as disappeared
