Must admit that I'm thinking of telling them to stick it and getting my cash back, I'm so peed off with jessops who have a corporate stance of lying to customers who bought early and actually supplying people who bought later but happened to have a business account. If I do stick with them on...

Checked my order and it was placed on 11 Jan, been in contact with store manager and he's looking into things for me.

I'll have to have a look in my book at this tree creeper then, not up on birds types just like taking pics of them, this one could move up and down the tree in double quick speed hence me thinking they were one and the same. There were lots of small birds at these feeders, great tits, blue tits...
