What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

I modified my feeders and fitted some large pot saucers to stop spill over. I just pulled the base off the body of the feeder, put the base on the centre of the pot saucer and used a hot screwdriver to make a hole in both at the same time [a drill will do it!]. Then I used a small nut and bolt to secure them together and refitted the body of the feeder.






The birds seem to be happier with a wider base and very little seed is spilt. I actually take the spilt seed in the saucer, dry it out and reuse it. Oh, and as you can see I put several small holes in the saucer for drainage.

 

I got back from Birmingham tonight, made a mug of tea and saw this little lot appreciating the fatballs and seed put out for them:











I left them to it and drank my tea

 

I do like watching them through the open Kitchen door when I can, loli, but I've not done that for some time due to being busy. So it was nice to get back after nearly two hours of driving to gaze out of the window and see them enjoying themselves! I think I've got 3 or 4 pairs of Blue Tits and maybe two pairs of Great Tits around the garden, along with a pair of Greenfinches plus the usual suspects!!!

 

Yes, Sheal, trying it out and trying to get used to it. I like the resolution of the lenses and the camera has a very good shake stabilisation so it stops blurring. I've also got a remote IR control for it and a wireless remote control [greater range] for it so I'll set it up one day to get close ups of the birds feeding.
