Yes, I have two of these Guardman Feeders (which are very east to take apart and clean) and currently I have to fill them twice a day. Sorry to post this pic again

When we first moved into Shineyland there was a resident blackbird. The old lady used to feed it every day and it, of course, expected the same from us. She always left her kitchen door open so that he could come in when he wanted and he used to sit on the draining board to eat. Then he had a...

I have a swinging magpie that flys at the feeder knocks it and the seed comes tumbling out

Do you think we should write to FERA and raise a Stink about it???

Our birds are very fussy and want to look at the bill before they eat the food. If it's cheap, they go elsewhere!

First one to catch it gets to write GC's web address on its back in marker pen.That'll confuse the French Chefs

Love that tune.

If he is limping, lets hope the hounds dont spot him.

Well thats good news then.!

Spotted another ladybird today (Nov 1st )

it does have different names across the UK

Spiders are currently putting webs up across the full width of the garden, thats roughly 10ft! Very impressive, less so when I can't see them coming.

Unlucky for the bee:(My son and I spent 20 minutes rescuing a bumblebee once, after it flew into the web of a gigantic spider in our outhouse. It took 20 minutes because we were keen for neither creature to be injured. I tried to knock the approaching spider away from the stricken bee with a...

I 've just caught up with this thread,would you believe it... If you've got an old large cuddly toy you could sit that on the patio over night,I used to have one sat next to my pond,charity shops are always selling them cheap too

That must have been a wonderful experience.

Disturbing the snake while it is trying to eat is bound to have an effect!Nigel, as you probably know, yours is about to slough so the colour is duller as the skin is loosening and the eyes have clouded over.
