I gotta go buy some mealworms!

I have lived in my home over thirty years, and in all that time I've seen one bluebird.
Today I was having a coffee and reading DU, and I heard a bird call I'm not familiar with.
Merlin told me it is a bluebird, and that made my morning! 🌄

They rarely come close to the apartment but they hang out in the hedge out by the road and eat the berries off the holly tree. Now I know where to look for them I see them every year. There are plenty of bluebird boxes people put up in this area

But I doubt it will get any attention. Had a bat house up for years and it didn't even get the attention of the wasps ☹️
The same is true of the martin house that has been up for ever!
