Two hen blackbirds, several great and blue tits, a goldfinch and a wren all spotted foraging in the garden this sunrise. Good things it was so frosty the cats were out and back in again in short order.
Mr Melodeon We too have more birds in our garden compared to usual. Mainly great tits happily foraging about.
St Bernard Great tits like coconuts.
Madam Fifi Can anyone explain why my sister has big Red Admiral butterflies in her house.
Bentonbag Some butterflies hibernate and get a head start in the spring. In nature they'd be in holes in trees and caves where the temperature would be cold but steady. But now of course they come into houses too. Only houses get warm so they wake up. When my Dad had his hip replaced (years ago) he slept for a while in the spare back bedroom which was usually unheated. He wondered why blue tits kept hammering at the window. Until he discovered the warmth had woken a couple of butterflies who were fluttering on the inside of the glass with the birds desperately trying to catch them from the other side.
Sandy Thought you were going to say they were nesting in Fester’s beard
Bentonbag He brushes it every morning or goodness knows what sort of wildlife would be lurking in there.
