Pleased to see tiny wrens still whirring low across the garden, these are one of the small birds which concern me this cold weather. They never feed at a feeding station , so I wonder how they find enough to eat, also with such tiny bodies I am concerned for them keeping warm if they don't have enough to eat how can their bodies regulate their temperature?
Apart from having woodpiles or coniferous trees and shrubs where they can nest and find some sort of wind protection, I am not sure what else can be done. On reflection maybe we ought not be too fanatical about tidying the garden in late autumn and winter, because that is of course where they find their food stocks of tiny insects hiding away amongst the dead last year foliage.
Delighted to see a cole tit feeding on the fat balls and later on the bird table, these little birds are for some reason less frequent visitors to the garden lately.
