TOPICS

Blue tits and milk bottles

We are asking for your help to find out whether there are any birds in the UK that still take the cream from the tops of milk bottles.
The last recorded instance of this activity was in 2000. If you have seen any bird pecked bottle tops since that date please do let us know by email, letter or phone with the words "Milk Bottle Birds" as your heading.
