Thank you for your comments ...
...'R&L'<br />Thank you for your comments ...<br />I visit many blogs and it never ceases to amaze me the huge variety of colourful birds there are, and yes depending on where you are in the world they are quite different.<br />Nature offers us many beautiful things.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-67872001776253598612015-11-24T22:42:03.206+00:002015-11-24T22:42:03.206+00:00Catching up on some older blogs.

It is always great to receive, read and share comments and ideas.<br /><br />Jo<br />I agree it is lovely to watch the birds visit and feed.<br /><br />Mike<br />I love cheese, there is just such a great selection to choose from, and you can never have too much in your house ...can you ... besides a glass of wine goes so well with it. I'll leave you to have your beer, although I occasionally have a small Peroni - does that count as Beer? Not sure LOL! Yes, sometimes our gardens do attract birds that can be rather vocal!<br /><br />Blogoratti<br />I just love including healthy fats, like the ones in the photo, in our weekly menu plans.<br /><br />Nikki (Sarah)<br />Healthy fats are so good for us and our feathered friends. Thank you for your good wishes.<br /><br />Eileen<br />The birds certainly seem to enjoy the homemade fat cakes and balls, the RSPB site I linked to is very helpful in regard to this.<br /><br />Cheryl<br />We obviously promote the LCHF lifestyle on this blog ... and any article, recipe etc. is posted for information, but it is up to each reader to decide whether he/she wants to 'action' upon reading it. For instance if I put a recipe up with nuts and a reader is allergic to nuts that would not be suitable for them. It is always important to take any under lying health condition into account and if you are a diabetic test blood sugar levels.<br />It always surprises me when I still see netting on the fat balls ... the guide I linked to in the original article is very helpful I think.<br /><br />Debbie<br />You have some wonderful photo's of birds on your blog (and other photo's too). It is so nice to feed the birds and spend time watching them.<br /><br />'NC'<br />Yes suet cakes are popular. Woodpeckers are such colourful birds aren't they.<br /><br />Chris<br />Both Eddie and I appreciated your first comment here ... thank you.<br />You do get quite a variety of birds and wildlife your way - it is a shame when not everyone takes time out to enjoy what may be right on their doorstep. Yes, of course it will differ area to area but it always amazes me that some are quite oblivious to nature! (But not our com-mentors here)<br /><br />Launna<br />Lovely to receive your comment, and glad things are ok with you.<br />I do agree with your opening comment ... thank you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Once again THANK YOU ALL for your comments.<br />Keep watching the birds and enjoying the wild life<br />Keep those healthy fats on the top of your shopping list.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-20831006789424258682015-11-24T01:31:52.888+00:002015-11-24T01:31:52.888+00:00I'm all about healthy fats, I can't believ...I'm all about healthy fats, I can't believe I ever ate margerine and other manmade foods....

Quote from J Stanton at gnolls.org "birdseed and diesel fuel are NOT food groups!"<br /><br />My birds like sunflower hearts the best, and appreciate a handful of live mealworms daily. Mainly the blackbirds, robins and starlings in winter but a lot of others go for the mealies when they have young to feed, many seed-eating species have evolved to feed their young on fats and proteins.<br /><br />Sparrowhawks are regular visitors. I don't mind so long as they catch the common birds as we never had them when I was young. Despite all the high-tech agriculture we have a wide range of top predators, a good sign that there's plenty of prey for them to eat.<br />chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-42861719266969912242015-11-23T20:40:42.798+00:002015-11-23T20:40:42.798+00:00We buy suet cakes and hang them in suet feeders fo...We buy suet cakes and hang them in suet feeders for our birds.
