I love feeding the birds in the garden, and get great pleasure from watching their antics on the bird-feeder during the winter months. I give them a variety of food, mainly mixed seeds, peanuts and oatmeal supplemented by the occasional helping of cooked potato, cooked rice and bread.

Here is a list of birds that have been seen in, around or over our garden in the last 10 years.
