On my old foot beat in Derby West was a Co-op garage where all the Milk Floats were charged up overnight.Believe it or not an empty Milk Float would be occasionally stolen then dumped on the nearby Mackworth Council Estate.
Always surprised me as a kid that the birds knew there was something to eat in a non natural container. We've seen a big resurgence in small birds here in our immediate surroundings, with a "reduction" in squirrel population the bird eggs survive. Although last week a sparrow hawk came and took a small bird as it tried to get desperately into some bushes right outside rear door of house.Think it was sparrow, as primarily brown with banding on tail feathers, and of that size too. Considerable speed and dexterity in hunting and quite something to watch.A fair few owl and woodpecker in wider tree cover around this location.
My granny used to get milk delivered in a plastic bag. The bag then sat in a purpose-made jug, corner was cut off and it poured from there. Worcester area - odd lot down there.🙂
