As I mentioned in last Saturday’s post, the birds at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park are currently not being fed by visitors because of the danger of spreading bird flu, but the birds are confused by this neglect.

And, as they’ve come to expect people feeding them, if you’re walking through Cogan Wood and stop to look at something, anything, the small birds come flying in, hopefully. This Great tit was particularly cheeky and kept flying straight at me, making me felt guilty that I had no seed, even for one hungry bird.
