Cheeky Bluetits

[maggiebee]

Just finished filling and planting my hanging baskets. Had a look out of the window and there are two bluetits helping themselves to some of the natural fibre lining. Ah well, their nests will be cosy

They wait until I have finished brushing Tilly, in the garden, and then come down to collect the hair. Clever little things.

How kind of you to put it out just for them maggie:-))

My fibre lined baskets were targeted by our resident magpies. Totally ruined them.

They'll need it, Maggie, the weather forecast is Arctic for next week. Take care of your hanging baskets. I'm now hanging back on planting my 'annuals' herb garden (a posh bucket).

Magpies have destroyed my coconut fiber basket liners for the second year running.
They're always at the front of the cue for a free handout!

I had to change tactics to stop Blue-tits and Great-tits from removing so much of the liners in the hanging baskets that the soil all fell out (plants were not happy with that!} and ended up putting plastic liner inside the fibre one as I am a bit of dotty lover of wild birds and put out anything that might make nice little nest liners .
