Drookit Siskin

Backblip

A wash-out of a day with constant rain and cold winds.  The birds still need to eat, so there were plenty on the feeders, including this soggy siskin.  

We've had to move the bird feeders from the decking, where I could see them easily, back to the garden, where I can't see them at all unless I make a special effort.  Sadly, the wood pigeons were making such a mess of the decking and balustrades that it was impossible to keep up with the cleaning required.  TJ did warn me this would happen and he was right!
