Topping up the bird table

We had are real first frost of the Autumn today in East Anglia we may have had the odd air frost but this was a ground frost, so I expect all those plants that had late flowers out have now been hit.

On getting home from work I noticed the birds had nearly cleared all the food off the bird table I had put out the night before, all the meal worms had gone in the tray on the bird feeder, I am guessing the starlings had a feast here and maybe the odd robin or two, I know the hedgehogs we have in the garden had been sniffing the air under the tray as I had managed to get film of one doing this on my camera trap, so maybe one managed to climb up and help itself to some of these as well.

We mad not have a frost tonight but I think most of East Anglia will have rain by the morning, but I have still put food out for the birds and the hedgehogs which need to have the correct body weight before the go into hibernation for the winter.
