Winter lunch?

Something is going on this winter that I don't understand - the wild life appears to be altering - unless it's something that I haven't come across before.

I've just spotted some white chicks in a bush with their beaks held aloft waiting for food with a collection of strange animals, or are they birds around them in the bush. I hope the picture gives a feeling of what I saw.

You can see the chicks, not many of them, near the top left corner of the bush, with their bright white closed beaks pointing skywards, with what looks very much like other birds or animals around them cloaked in white down, presumably to protect them from the winter weather. The other animals, whilst I don't recognise these either, are clearly defined in animal form, and when I look more closely it is actually difficult to detect other bird life there.

I'm now wondering if the animals are waiting for the birds to get bigger before having them for lunch. Maybe someone out there can help out here. What's going on with what?
