= This is very much me at the moment....we don't have any pets, so I love feeding the birds!

Me too Shaggy I've got pet birds but also feed the birds that come to my garden - love them - sparrows, tits, goldfinches, chaffinches - starlings too, and the occasional woodpecker, more in spring though. Also there's a sparrowhawk that comes and tries its luck and occasionally catches one of the little birds. Which is Nature, I guess! The sparrowhawk is very beautiful.

Yes, we get all them - lots of starlings (which is good as they are not doing so well I read in Gardeners World). And Yes! we've had a woodpecker or two - amazing! Here in London woodpeckers! And seen a sparrowhawk high above - once!

Lots of finches, tits, robins, blackbirds, magpies, jays and pigeons (I'm weird, I love pigeons) tons of parakeets...


Fun!

Re : DH's Snoring

DH has lost half a stone this month (already! he's not even that overweight honest!) and bought some funny thing for his nose.....which helped the snoring.

BUT a few nights ago he decided to have a decaf tea before bed. No snoring. Didn't do it for two nights (snoring - I had to go to the spare room). Then did it for 3 nights drunk decaf tea - no snoring!!!

Googled it and tea can help snorers - snorers snore for lots of different reasons so I guess it won't help everyone....who knew?! RESULT!

Thank you for this tip Shaggy, I must get OH to try this, his snoring is epic and even in the spare room I struggle to sleep......

On day 20 AFD today, so glad I didn’t give in this weekend, feeling pleased with myself for sticking to my tea and AF beer :beer:

We love our birds too Shaggy, visit today from our local sparrow population, all the tits, Woodpeckers, nut hatch, bullfinches, wag tails and the sparrow hawk took down a starling from our feeder last week brutal but necessary. We also have a delightful pair of collared doves who always make me feel all fuzzy inside:A

Shaggy and Arkers, how fabulous, so good to hear There is a book called "Bird Therapy" (I think) which suggests nature-watching is good for mental health, especially dealing with anxiety, and I'm sure it is. Birds are so fascinating to watch! And it is good to feel you are helping.
