It's been a pretty rotten time for the wildlife during the cold snap, so this is a little reminder for you all to not forget about all the birds and other wildlife around Barton. If you go down to the Waters' Edge at the moment you will see that most of the pond by the visitor centre has frozen over, so the ducks, swans, geese and other birds are really struggling to find their natural source of food. So why not spend just 25p in the centre on a bag of food for them, and watch how they make a dash for it across the frozen pond; they really do appreciate it!
Tomorrow, I will post a recipe for scrummy bird cake.
The race for food; as soon as they see you coming they will all head over in hope that you might have a special bag of treats for them.
On the bank; all happily tucking in to a meal.
This duck, and many others thoroughly enjoyed my bird cake, which hadn't set yet but never mind it was delicious anyway. So they should as it contained Coop best mixed nuts and dried fruit!
