J is for jumping, with cold feet
06th December 2020
Last year the Jays would not perform for me on the few frosty mornings we had.I really wanted them to perch on the provided post and then catch them in mid jump.
Up to today they have been too busy collecting and feeding off the thousands of acorns that have littered the floor of the local woods, is been a good year for acorns for sure.
So with the first, hard frost of the year I got really lucky as two birds came in whilst the frost was still sharp and crisp. Ss only Jays can, they devoured all the peanuts in two attempts and promptly flew off. If they suffering in the cold like me I can only assume they then had to warm up their feet as they didn't return again!
