disease..

Our open garden season has come around again.

Last year, groups trudged around in the rain. A year of rain later, it looks as though it'll be the same.

Bedraggled birds in the garden.

Specially concerned that we have now had three birds with no head feathers. a great tit was the most distressing with awful swellings and bleeding.

I soak, wash, brush and disinfect the feeders regularly but amconcerned that they are vectors of disease.

I'v contacted the BTO for advice.
