Re: BIRD FEEDING
That's a nice one but doesn't fit where I have mine. I'm in a flat and there's a sort of architectural bar outside the window that I can hang a feeder on so I'm a bit limited by space.

Re: BIRD FEEDING

Re: BIRD FEEDING
grrrr My tube seed feeder just fell off, dropped one floor down and broke right after I'd filled it up. Probably my fault. I don't think the blueies have worked out how to undo knots! Oh well, the blackbirds will have a feast as they don't come and visit the feeders. The blue tits look a bit confuse...

Re: BIRD FEEDING
haha :) Used to be an old hospital. It was converted in to apartments 20 years ago. When you mix up the feeds it's actually interesting to see what the food preference is. The suet goes first, then the sunflower seeds and the nuts last. It's amazing how they know which one gives them the most energy...

Re: POND LINER
Nice one.
The mud is all the droppings from frogs etc, dead insects and leaves/plant material all falling to the bottom. 20 years of biological detritus .

Re: BIRD FEEDING
As it's wet and horrible outside I thought I'd give the birdies a bit of a stripy treat today

Re: Blue Tits

Speaking of which, my first bluey fledglings have turned up today

Re: POND LINER
Can you dig a new one elsewhere, new shape and layout (I seem to remember the RSPB have a pond building guide) and then transfer the wildlife over? Then fill in the old one.
