Supplement feeding and the new camera.

During the winter we supplement our areas of Wild Bird Seed Mix with wheat sweepings and the cracked wheat which is cleaned out during the seed preparation process. We try to keep a regular supply of food out through the whole winter especially during the hungry gap which is from the end of January through until early March when the natural food stocks are exhausted and before spring starts. The main beneficiaries of this food are the game birds and ground feeding passerines such as Yellowhammers, Chaffinches, Dunnocks etc but with the new camera I thought it would be interesting to see what else is using these areas.
