My apple tree produced a lot of apples last autumn. I put some in the freezer and stored the rest in the shed on trays wrapped in newspapers.
Throughout the winter, I was able to throw a couple of apples every day for the wildlife to feed on, usually the ones that were starting to go brown. We are nearing the end of May and my stock of apples has just run out. Birds, such as black birds, magpies, crows, pheasants, robins and field fares really enjoyed them. Other birds might have eaten them too but I did not see it. Squirrels were fond of them too.
Below a field fare eating an apple. This little chap was quite a bully, chasing away any black birds getting near "his" apples! He seemed to waste more energy guarding the apples then eating them.
