Yes, the small ground feeders picking up the food would make sense, but when you watch them eating it's hard to be sure.Woodpeckers are amazing!
Here's a curious thought which just popped into my head - I feed the birds daily and sprinkle the feed on an unused area of my tarmac driveway....
Thanks, very interesting. I'll try the tongue test if I get any more like that this year. :-)
Regarding pruning - so should I be pruning these 6 foot tall whips now?How about the 3 foot tall whips that I also have?If yes to any of the...
