Just got back from work, looked out of kitchen window to see a female Great Spot hopping about on the lawn with 4 Blackbirds for about 2 mins before flying up onto the peanut feeder. Presumably the same bird seen 8 Dec, weird behaviour, as there was no apparent food on offer(maybe it just wants to be a Blackbird?).
I've seen them feeding on apples in my garden too Ian. Only when the nut feeder has been empty though so probably in desperation in this case! They look very strange on the ground though. Henerz.
Just looked out of kitchen window to see a Great Spot feeding on the ground on apples Id just put out for blackbirds. Only posting this because Ive never seen this behaviour before, is it common?. Its now on the peanuts which is much more like it!!. Cheers Ian
