There was a fairly heavy fall of snow yesterday, and it was obvious that the local bird population were finding it hard to get at the worms. There was a constant stream of them flying to the bird feeder in the front garden all morning.
At times the feeding perches became quite congested, with a queue forming in the branches of the tree. (I can't say it was orderly as there seemed to be constant squabbling and jockeying for places on the perches!)
There was, however the odd bird who was more clever than the rest, and instead of fighting for a place on one of the perches, he simply positioned himself on the lawn, below the bird feeder and ate to his hearts content from all the seed that was spilled out as the other birds squabbled amongst themselves!
Ruby sat by the window and for a while was quite entertained by the comings and goings of the birds, but it dawned on her that it would be more fun to be outside in the snow, and after some gentle reminders she was off into the field.
