I've been trying to capture these lovely little birds on camera for a while now but haven't met with much success. This shot was taken by a friend to let you all see thesewonderful little visitors. Not exactly the best of photographs but at least you can make out what they are.


They are feeding from a suet cake which is impregnated with dried insects. You can also get them with berries, fruit, peanuts, apple and seeds in them from any good garden centre or you could always try making your own as they are made up in exactly the same way as fat balls - only bigger and flatter!!

Recipe:

Melt suet in a heavy bottomed pan then simply add whatever bird food you like to the mix. Pour into containers and put in fridge to harden. Turn out and place in feeders. Couldn't be easier!!!!

Thanks for the recipe.I love to watch birds feed. We have alot of species here,we have bluejays,hummingbirds,mourning doves, indigo buntings,robins, mockingbirds, which are the state bird of Texas they mimick the cry of other birds so that's why they got the name.
