Morning All...
Its not as cold this morning as yesterday, perhaps that is because the wind is light and not making the walls cold. Forecast is for a fair bit of sun with some rain early on and this evening. Perhaps I should buy some flippers to make me more mobile in the wet weather, I just wish the forecasts were more reliable, not heavy rain in a forecast of broken sun.
Both birds are fine and look well this morning. Their feathers look fine too but I am sure a new moult is going to start soon, I just hope that their moults are not as bad as last years, Nacho had the worst I have ever known losing a good few bigger feathers but he still looked well most of the time. The wild ones wont be about yet but they will be once it starts to get light. I fill the feeders up each day and the starlings are always willing to take the meal worms but I try to discourage them taking the choice food before others have had a chance.
Wont be going out today and just want to have a tidy up. I am so tempted to make a decent slow cook later this week but dont know if that can be frozen and still keep its nutritional value. I also want to empty the small freezer and throw things that have been there for months. I thought you could keep food in a 3 star freezer just about indefinitely but that is not so, so I am going to clean it out, de-frost it and hopefully have a lot more space.
Have a Great Tuesday Everyone, If you are unwell make sure you get well soon.
Cheers
Nigel
