Food For Birds & Animals
Seeds. Who would have thought that something so small could be so complicated. Apparently there are more than 50,000 different types of edible seeds, including grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds from fruits and vegetables. Without the seeds, we wouldn’t be able to eat and enjoy that fruit at all.
Not only do we humans depend on them, so do many other species.
Swans for example eat water plants, grasses and algae as well as insects and molluscs. If you are just starting photography Swans are great subjects as their actions are so ponderous and they are so photogenic. Whilst feeders in the garden are great to practice your photography, my favourite place is beside reed beds where at the right time of year you can see Bearded Tits, Reed Bunting and other birds feasting and swaying in the breeze.
