Thanks Grayling Pam and Dave. I spotted a Pied Wagtail on the summerhouse roof today and a Wren flitting about, both were too quick for me. My new (squirrel proof ?) feeders have arrived. I have this positioned too low, it needs some adjustment. Supposedly the weight of the squirrel slides the tube over the nuts and hides them. ![]() |

The birds didn't take long to get used to the new feeders, Eric. I hope it keeps the Squirrels at bay. |

The squirrel proof feeders seem to be working, this is the "feeding station" yesterday. The bird table proper has mealworms on it for the Robins ![]() The lovely little Coal Tit seems to be hanging around, it is amazing how tiny he is. ![]() ![]() The blue tits of course are around in their droves ![]() |

Great photos of your feeding station, Eric. I've washed my feeders and I've just got to order some seed now and put them back up. |

They definitely need cleaning from time to time, if only to prevent the spread of disease. |

Eric. Especially the robin. Your feeding station is cool and the birds obviously love it.

Thanks Tabatha. The tits were making a lot of fuss today and wouldn't keep still for me so instead I got them flitting from one feeder to another.![]() ![]() |
