GENEROUS Brits leaving food out for birds have changed migration patterns.
Birds are choosing to spend winter in the UK over sunny Spain because they prefer the grub, British researchers revealed.
The species Blackcaps, bred in Germany and Austria, used to migrate to southern Spain but many are now heading to the UK, a study carried out over 12 winters revealed.
Be easy to cite global warming as the cause. More likely that they’ve finally realised they’ll be blown out of the sky above Spain, by trigger-happy blokes wielding penile substitutes. Even the Costa Del Sol isn’t worth that.
