Be sure and read the small print first greenfinch. Honest Placi's Emporia tend to be trickier than a tricky thing from a trick shop.

One side of the food tray part of one of the plastic apex window feeders came away this morning so I was battling in the rain to temporarily mend it with Sellotape - probably a Super Glue job tonight

Still got my Goldfinches {5}feeding on the Budliee and lots of Sparrows.

What a bargain. I'm sure the birds don't care if the string has broken.

It is now unavailable but Homebargains are 49 pence.

It was £6 for 24 = 25p each
I ordered two lots

I noticed they had sold out - no wonder - that was some bargain wasn't it I did get 48 of the Fat Feast Suet Cake Treat Blocks - Buy Any 2 of 69p Bird Food for £1.30 - work out at 65p each ( )

I can never remember to check their site - just go on there when I need something.

No matter how many times I (re)-sign up for the newsletters they won't send me them. They used to

They had it in the newsletter.
And I've just had an email off them saying it's sold out, but I can have 24 normal ones for that price, so at about 50p, it's not a bad deal
I bought a load of the fat blocks too.

By way of a Chrimbo treat for my birds and to save me from having to go out in the cold and wet so often I have purchased(at no little expense) a new feeder. I decided it should hold sunflower hearts as that tends to be in the biggest demand from birds other than sparrows. It (the feeder) has eight feeding ports and holds about twice as much as the feeder it is replacing.
I hung it up yesterday PM and waited for all the grateful birds to come flying in to get the goodies. Well, the flying in bit happened but with the sole exception of the Robin they all took one look and flew off again
Today dawned and during the period I was watching the Blue and Coal Tits had decided it was worth the risk as they dashed in, grabbed a heart and flew off again. The Collared Doves looked at it hungrily from all angles then flew off empty cropped. I watched again at lunch time as a small flock of Goldies descended and started feeding as though nothing had changed.
I'm sure the ultra cautious birds will soon get over the new feeder soon but I was astonished at how reluctant some were to use the new feeding station.
