They know to go to this place for food and just rummage in the snow. Little and often is the key so it doesn't get buried by snow before they can find it. If you only have a traditional bird table then I would use the space beneath it (where they would rummage for fallen seed) as the ideal place.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps<BR/>xxxBryonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222505728362129637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529657187251569190.post-44276065707352644152009-02-06T16:37:00.000+00:002009-02-06T16:37:00.000+00:00Mopsa's farm in Devon - presumably higher up than ...<A HREF="http://mopsa.blogspot.com/2009/02/needs-must.html" REL="nofollow">Mopsa's farm</A> in Devon - presumably higher up than you - has had plenty!Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529657187251569190.post-52021242259221609102009-02-06T15:21:00.000+00:002009-02-06T15:21:00.000+00:00I have the great advantage that the tiny trickle o...I have the great advantage that the tiny trickle of bubbles from our pump keeps one pond free from ice. (I know it's not environmentally friendly to run it all the time but it probably doesn't take much more electricity than one of the modern machines on standby).Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529657187251569190.post-1541454006417713502009-02-06T11:12:00.000+00:002009-02-06T11:12:00.000+00:00Rarely I find such writing about close by observat...Rarely I find such writing about close by observations of flora/fauna/earth/water interacting. <BR/>Thanks.
