Pellets and plenty of them.
Salt works too.

Swans, geese, ducks and loads more but I don't know what species.
It was a RSPB reserve. Lots of old boys hiding in the bushes and grass with binoculars plus cameras.
Watching some healthy birds as they appear. 😉
A pair of swans nesting.
Beautiful.
A white egret never seen one before so well chuffed
The older I get the Faster I was
Nice one. Apparently they're getting more common. I've still not seen any round here.
The last few days have brought a cuckoo to the valley. I think I saw it on a wire the day before we first heard it, but that might have been a coincidence.
Also, lots of alder beetles - little blue-black shiny beetles, on lots of alder trees along the Dane valley. And a blackcap - it's a few years since I've seen one of these.
Also, three red deer in the woods, again near Danebridge in the Dane Valley.
Whilst out on this afternoons bike ride a large stoat galloped across the road in front of me and quickly climbed the adjacent drystone wall and into the field. Enjoyed it as I have not seen one for a while.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Quite common in the Lune estuary and sometimes further upstream.Originally Posted by JohnK
I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
Pigeon hit my bedroom window at the weekend at what seemed like top speed.... this made me jump out of my skin as i was on the computer about a metre from the window...
Went and checked it wasn't dead on the drive, but apart from a few feathers it seems to have survived... but it had made such a bang that the next door neighbour, outside by her car, came across to see what the noise was!
I was more bothered that having just had the window cleaner round, my pristine window now has a pigeon-shaped dust silhouette right across it!
I avoid cleaning windows for that reason.
A slow worm on the path outside Portree. Thought it was dead and picked it up. It felt like metal.
