    Can anyone i.d. this for me please? It's popped up under the bird feeder but I've been using the same seed for years and have never seen it before in the garden, although it does look very familiar. IMG_20161119_134709.jpg IMG_20161119_134646.jpg

            Yep, that's it guys! Cheers Pete!:yes: I didn't think the bird seed had niger seed in it, but it obviously does. The ingredients are printed on the sack but the print has rubbed off and I've never looked before to see what's in it.:doh:

                That would explain why the birds around here are always so mellow and laid back... :peace:
