I used to keep a pot noodle tub next to the sink, any scraps of fatty food, bacon rind, cheese or bread went into it. When it was full, I poured fat into it then hung it upside down on our tree.
Only the little colourful birds could get at it by hanging upside down from the rim. which was nice

I blame global warming!
Actually I haven't got a clue what this topic is about - no change there, ed. But I saw PJClarke had posted so I assumed it was about the AGW morons/nice people*
*Delete as appropriate.
Btw, I know it's about birds. We have a friendly couple of magpies who like to steal bits of tree from the balcony.

I agree about the Niger seed and bullfinches.
The missus has an array of bird feeders. Where we have just moved to we have green woodpeckers (which are quite large and very striking), spotted (smaller woodpeckers), jays, the usual finches, t1ts and "normal" birds.
We also get lots of buzzards - they circle the lake close to our house - there must have been a flock of 50 of them last week, high up just doing circles.
We also get bats as well. Just the small ones mind - they come out at dusk and fly around the garden.

Feeding the wee birds
I bought a couple of bird feeders to hang outside of one of the living room windows, one with seed the other with peanuts. I like to see the variety of birds that arrive to feed constantly (even get woodpeckers which are colourful). I thought by putting out the feeders in the summer the birds will get used to visiting so come winter if it's been as severe as the last two here then I'd be doing my bit to keep a few of them alive.
A Kg of peanuts will last for a couple of weeks however the seed just disappears, so much so I just bought 10 Kg which will last for a couple of weeks given the current consumption
Expensive hobby and now that I've started I'll run with it. Anybody else do this?Tags: None
