Last few days I've been going heavy on the bird food as the grounds covered in snow, I started off with a couple of sheets of ply laid on the snow but the wind just blew the food off, it either disappeared beneath surrounding snow or just gone in the wind. I brought my builders spot thing in which is plastic, around 3' diameter and has a lip 2" high all round, high enough to deflect the wind over and leave the food still there, so this is now placed on the snow and a healthy layer of food covering it. Two days ago a Fieldfare moved into the middle of the board and will not let anything else near it? it hates Blackbirds but stops all from feeding, I have chased it off, it comes back, the dogs chased it off, it comes back, it's there from first light till dark when the rats come out to finish off what's left [we live in the countryside, you feed birds, you get rats].
I know all birds are hungry except this one because he won't leave, we had another Fieldfare come to the garden and he viciously attacked that.
Any suggestions, I have a lot of regular bird visitors to my garden that are all going hungry because of this individual.
