If any bird deserves extra rations from the Old Wall Caff it's the male blackbird. His singing is so magnificently poised and melodic and he's also trying to feed a demanding family. But the constant movement of the suspended table is not usually for him. That's alright for the tits and robins but he prefers the solid feel of the ground beneath him or the wall itself. But these are special times and today's menu is just what on his list. So, wobbles or not, down he goes.
The chaffinch and tits are now less likely to go for the grated cheese as a first course. It's seed that has that extra nutrition they like to find at this time of year. And there's not much seed around in May,(while every supermarket has lots of cheddar).
