Nothing gets wasted in our house, especially in cold weather like this. Today, wood pigeons, crows, robins, blackbirds, magpies and starlings enjoyed a feast of leftover stew (note: magpies love potatoes, especially when coated with gravy), blueberries slightly past their use-by date (the blackbirds' favourite), bread (the pigeons prefer the seeded variety) and the remnants of a pudding made from squashed hot cross buns, marmalade and custard (the robin's favourite). A fox appeared, drank from the pond, then ignored the food and trotted off. Perhaps it had found better pickings elsewhere. Or maybe it was waiting to pounce on one of those guzzling birds.
