Yep, up here we must have a load of them!

Tis been two weeks now since the feeder was put up and not a nibble

Wifes cunning plan can be seen below, a decoy, we shall see

Ah, confusion is a funny old thing.

Me, I'm just recovering from a head injury after asking the guy in the local pet shop if he had fatballs.

Didn't catch me out ... but ... I was struggling with the id on the peanut bird until I re-read the post ... :embarrassed:

The little ones are still around a'plenty Min ... just that there is still a lot of natural food around ... so visitors to feeding stations normally drop for a while ... they will pick up again as the winter draws on though so ... kep ... !

A couple of cold days have brought the little ones back - try throwing some seed on the ground under the feeders. Once they seem to see one feeding they seem to follow - if you can fight off the collared doves!

Don't need to here ... Sparrowhawk has just reduced the population ...

Heard an explosion of sound and just managed to catch sight of a load of fluttering feathers and it flying off with the poor thing ... on investigation thay had both bounced off the bathroom window during the chase ...ouch ...

Evidenced by a powder marked ... but unbroken window ...

Used to be just kestrals round here but sparrow hawkes with the quick low-level attack are moving in to E Anglia in numbers.

We get them in daily ... sometimes multiple visits ... especially if they 'miss' ... as the youngsters usually do ...
