As I swept up the leaves (again) this morning I put the table feeder on one of the chairs.
It had poured with rain early last night and everything was sodden.
I put dried Mealworms out for the birds and they seem to like them that way although some people recommend soaking them first... well the rain had done that for me.
I was back inside before I noticed the tray was still on the chair... I had intended to refill it.
I'm glad I didn't... it appears the birds in my garden don't mind how their Mealworms come prepared.
The female Blackbird was soon tucking in...

Looks like they love those meal worms. Great shots.
HI Andrew It's amazing how sometimes we discover things by accident. I never soak my meal worms and the birds just gobble them up every time.
Great shots, Is you chair closer for photographs since you put the container on the chair? Now that might be an interesting ploy as I always photograph the garden bird from my window also.
rehydrated protein! :)
they love it but i am glad i don't have to get my protein that way. YUCK on mealworms
A good bird feeder Andrew.
Andrew, what are meal worms? I have always assumed they are dried maggots.
wet or dry, they eat them all, great shots.
Great shots!
Well, I wouldn't want to eat them either, whether they're wet or dry, but the if the birds like them both ways, that's one less thing for you to remember. LOL

I prefer mine well done on the crunchy side. Great images that I suspect once again when done through the glass. You just cannot tell.
I like the birds photos!
Beautiful, Andrew!
Greetings, RW & SK
As long as hou don't forget to put them out they'll be happy! Cute rainy day photos -- the joys of a wonderful yard, you can get great photos evdn on a day like that!!!
They may even enjoy them better that way...great shots, BTW,\.
Oh, what fun captures, Andrew!! Lovely, happy birds!! Thanks for sharing the smiles!!
That's an interesting feeder. Do you raise your own mealworms?
They look quite pleased with the food you've provided. Beautiful photos!
A real treat for the birds I would imagine. Your garden must be michelin rated amongst the local bird life.
Lovely images, Andrew! Gorgeous colour contrasts. They do seem to be enjoying their meal... even if it is soaked!
it's a great photo opportunity to be able to sit back and watch from indoors like you do; always enjoy seeing your backyard garden birds
