In winter, robins switch from worms to fruit. Frozen ground leaves fallen apples as one of the few reliable calorie sources.

What looks spoiled to us can be the difference between survival and starvation.

When you are out and about this Christmas ~ if you see string or anything that can find itself wrapped around a little bird's legs please pick it up and dispose of it carefully.

This bunch was picked up in Caernarfon on a 3m sq area of green where all the little song birds forage around for worms and insects.

They are lethal and cause severe stringfoot.

Thank you.

Christmas isn't always a happy time for many. If you know someone who could possibly be in that situation, there are ways to help and make a positive difference.
Please use this time to think of others and reach out.
Check on you neighbours and make someone's day! 💚 🎄

Please feed the birds and provide water.
They are very hungry this time of year. Food is scarce and hard to come by. They rely on us.
Nurture Nature!💚

This footage was taken last week, the day after the hens were moved. It's a bit long, more than three minutes.
I will still take care of them, although I've been without a car which means I can't get to them. They are still being looked after but probably not spoilt. 💚

For the first time, I was not greeted by the hens on my arrival today! 😢 The reason why is because they've moved to pastures new! Well, over the way actually, to a neighbours land.
There they have joined some posh birds, who are non too pleased at this invasion. Hopefully, they'll all get on nicely together, before too long.

Be happy in your new home, Betty, Elsie, Nancy, Daphne, Daisy and Hettie! X

My dream of creating a happy place, has unfortunately not been successful.
I'm now torn on what I should do with the land!
I moved off in February and asked someone who needed somewhere to live look after the hens and maintain the land, in exchange for free accommodation. This arrangement didn't go as I had expected..... so, my girls are moving to pastures new too. 😞

Thank you to everyone who has been following our journey.
