When I moved into Westwood Villas about 3 years ago one of the first things I noticed about the area was except for the local peacocks my backyard wasn't visited by any local wild birds not even the odd pigeon!
I have been trying to remedy this by putting out peanuts and fat balls all to no avail, not the slightest interest was taken.
This morning though to my delight I saw not one but two delightful starlings picking away at the food I had put out.
Unfortunately the peanuts and the fatty balls are still being ignored, but they were having a wonderful time going around my garden tubs and stealing my veg' seeds, Grrrr!
Still at least I'm getting something maybe they will become regular visitors?
Is it just around West Accrington or is there a lack of our birds across the whole of the Accrington District.
I never seem to see house sparrows anymore.
Don't tell me it's bird flu' because I don't hear them sneezing either.
Oh, how tweet!
