      Thanks M
      Guess I could do M, I am going to make a moss mix for the pond liner when I find a cheap blender, I will paint some on the roof of the feed station.

          This is about as good as it gets, I might have to do a few tweaks will see after it rains, any spillages should collect in the tub only, it should also act as a trap if any rodents get in.

            Bird food......Mmmmmm

            I just bought two more sacks of wonderful quality seed weighing 20 Kg per bag. This is in addition to the six bags the same size we've fed the birds this year so far. We buy Huge bags of suet balls and suet blocks... Nowhere we have lived before have we had so many and such a variety of birds ! But we absolutely love it !!
