Bird food

I had a little tidy up of a cupboard and discovered a few items that were well passed their use by dates. Very well passed. 

So I decided to put some out for the birds where suitable 

The red grain is French Camargue red rice, a relatively new rice cultivated in the wetlands of the Camargue region of Southern France. 

The black grain, called Giant Wild Rice is actually a strain of aquatic grass from North America.
