Rain! Seriously can not complain though. The garden has had a thorough watering which in turn means; it's free, it's natural, it's fresh and it doesn't contain chlorine.
Love the stuff!
Day 29
RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!
Love it BUT, do you remember this picture from day 22?
Well! Turns out we don't have ravenous birds, but a grey squirrel.
We can't say for sure but my dearest mother saw a possible culprit on our neighbours roof.
Could explain all the bird seed on the ground... And I've been blaming the Wood pigeons!
Day 30
Day 30 of my 30 Days Wild Challenge! I did it! A random act of wilderness everyday for a month!
Phew!
After deciding what to do with the bird feeders and how to prevent the supposed squirrel from using them, I did originally plan to make more fat balls.
I probably still will but here is how I made them on day 8.
Vegetable suet is an ideal choice and here is why; if you take a look at the nutritional value, it has next to no salt and sugar, sky high with fat and saturates and a good wedge of calories too.
Perfect for those fledglings!
In a mixing bowl, add 1 part suet to 2 parts seed.
So for every 100g of suet, you need 200g of seed.
You don't have to use just seed; low salt cheese, dried mealworms and fruit are all great to use.
As you can see in my mixing bowl, there are dried mealworms and seed.
Combine the suet and the food...
...until you are able to form balls.
Ta dah! Now to wait for those feasting birds!
