One hopes you're all remembering to feed the birds?

Fat balls apparently.

Did I ever mention the time I made Bunny Guinness eject white wine out of her nose by talking about Bill Oddie’s fat balls?

Eh no. I am reasonably sure this is a conversation and set of quite unique circumstances which I would recall for ever.

[SWv2]

I've been noticing lots of these around here recently. I don't think I've ever seen them before.
I'm not sure they eat fat balls tho'

A mandarin duck if I am not mistaken.

We were in an Italian restaurant in Armagh on a press trip with the Westland peat compost people. Ms. Guinness was the Telegraph’s gardening corespondent at the time, I think (as well as her regular appearances on Gardener’s Question Time). Anyway, we got talking about the various celebrity endorsements for gardening products, of which I stated that the one I found most difficult to write about with a straight face were Bill Oddie’s Fat Balls. Anyway, she laughed helplessly and, from that moment on, she was as putty in my hands.

This made me feel sad.

If you don't have any commercial wild bird food, you can leave out muesli, nuts and grated cheese. They really need help in these conditions.

We’ve had a record number of crashes involving vehicles and moose/deer because they can’t find any food in the forest and venture onto the roads to get about and scavenge in residential areas. What should I feed those beasts?
