I was about to say the same as @Sheal. Predators can easily hide and put birds off a feeder. It's a relentless battle here with cats. Many of my...
I live within sight [on a clear day] of the biggest onshore windfarm in the UK @burnie, up on the moors near Eaglesham, but it's too cloudy there...
A similar start to yesterday here - frosty/icy, but o'night low was only zero, which is what it is just now at approx. 8.40 am. Some pink clouds...
I have to admit that it's not a colour I would pick for anywhere in a garden, but if you're worried, you'd have to wiat a few weeks to see how...
Re your earlier post about adding trellis to help the impact on the fence, Hedera helix will just grow through it to the fence anyway, so the...
I was reading earlier about areas of the west Midlands and Cheshire @Retired , and the dreadful problems they've had there with flooding, which...
Another frosty/icy start here, but the forecasts have everything in them, and the sky's a mix of clear and dark clouds, so will have to wait and...
I'd have thought your part of the world would have been likely to get a nice wee dump @Valleysgirl. Like us up here, snow is a common factor of...
@Palustris - yes! :biggrin:
I sometimes took my own @Scroggin - sunflower seeds/nuts and sultanas, in a wee plastic pot. Cereal bars are easier though - especially for...
Not seen one of those before @shiney, but that looks like a good idea. I don't tend to keep seed long term, apart from tomatoes, as I always feel...
The reality in many areas often is - a dusting. I think they've been paranoid ever since Michael Fish.... It hasn't arrived here yet, but we're...
I've often meant to ask you the reason for Scroggin @Scroggin :)Is it any good -that stuff? I often think these mixes are a bit of a marketing...
Lovely to see a bunting @strongylodon . They're quite common up here on our hills. I have a pic from a trip up Cruach Ardrain in Crianlarich which...
I'm sure it'll be fine. While many small birds will use a bird table, they also like other sources, so hanging feeders might be worth getting too,...
Just give it time @widget . They'll come in their own good time :smile: I doubt the colour's a problem, but you can certainy change the colour...
I also use spent compost from annuals for seed sowing @Escarpment - usually that stuff I mentioned, and that works well, so that may be worth...
Can you add your location to your profile @machtucker? It saves having to do what @Plantminded says re looking back through lots of previous...
I'm a girl - albeit a very old one, but not a fairy. It started as a joke when I joined the other forum many of us arrived here from. I can't...
I'd agree that perhaps the compost is the problem for you @Escarpment. A lot of it is really not great for a lot of seed, especially very fine...
