It's mer bleue hiking trail in Eastern ontario, though I see lots of turkeys around in wood edges and scrub, visible against the snow.

Will take time mate.
Don’t put too much in as need to stop the feed decaying.
Could take months, just be patient and once they find it keep feeding.
Love your pictures mate.

Put 2kg of seed down on the trail, squirrels came straight out, didn't hang around whistling for the birds as it was a tad nippy, snow was starting to fall.

Well first time today there's been birds feeding and having a bath. Hopefully that's the start of them using it now.

Did 12 kilometers along a lake trail earlier, snow has almost gone and the ice around the lake edges has melted so I thought I might spot a beaver, saw no beaver, but had the trail blocked by a posturing male turkey, saw a few musk rats.

Went to Bempton cliffs yesterday to see the black browed albatross. What a bird! Much bigger than the resident gannets with an over two metres wingspan. Never thought I would ever get to see one.
f***ing black and white vermin raided the blackbird nest yesterday. Parents screaming like hell, chilling. I thought they'd seen them off and then hear a fluttering in the living room, a young blackbird hiding behind the settee. Put it in a wild bit of the garden and the parents found it but I don't hold out much hope for it

Turns out it wasn't, I've got fat balls, seeds and a bath. Other than that one day theyve never been back. I'm surrounded by farmland. Only thing I've seen in the garden is a finch and a magpie. Both on the grass.
I've planted some shrubs now so hopefully once they have grown it will give them natural cover.

The swifts are back which is a good sight
Sprayed WD40 on the post of my bird feeder to stop the squirrels climbing on it.
Now the birds won’t come near the feeders.

Fatballs out all the time, and bread
get the rats in the garden from the burn if we put fastballs out.

Are you sure? That’s over two or three weeks earlier than usual.
Lost eggs from a Robin and Blackbird nests. I thought the snowy weather two weeks ago would’ve done for the eggs anyway but nowt in either nest now. Probably magpies have done it but it could be a stoat.
