                          A update on the feeders, the three that i altered are fine holding spilt seen even in strong winds it has to be emptied nothing blows away,

                          The one that's had no alteration is spilling some seed, no sign of any rats but I do have this little fellow, i don't mind him he's welcome.

                            @martin-f I scored 92 on the optimism :blue thumb: I think a lot of that is because of forward planning. :)

                                New design,

                                I've started making a little house, its still work in progress, I will put a roof on it to keep the seed dry and blank the west side off to protect the feeders from the wind,

                                There will be a catch tray below to catch any spilt seed.
