Feed the Birds

With winter on its way we are reminded once again to feed the birds. I at home have seen a massive increase the amount of birds visiting my feeders. This year all across Europe beech mast and acorn crops have failed this includes our own crop, this means that a lot more birds from the mainland have crossed seas to our shores.

Jays like the one above which i took a photo of as it ate peanuts have come to the uk to forag for food. 700 of these beautiful birds were seen coming in off the sea in Norfolk only a month ago. Chaffinch and Brambling are another two species that have been hugely affected by the crop failure.

At the Japanese Koi Company we will be expanding our range of wild bird foods so please rember to keep those feeders stocked up.
