Not many sparrows here today. A bit nervous after losing one of their brethren no doubt.

Descent into gloom - a magpie has discovered a way to hang onto a suet cake holder

Lots of sparrows today, even had two wood pigeons. Plus the usual gang of starlings. Still, plenty of food to go round.

I had a similar problem when a family of Jackdaws mastered the art of clinging to the fat ball feeder . They made very short work of a good many FBs before I found a way to prevent them.

I manufactured a cage from two empty wire hanging baskets around the feeder. Smaller birds could easily get through the basket mesh while Mr Jack Dawes looked on disappointed.
