Bird feeders.

The birds were missing for a while in our garden to ( apart from the corvids- who are too big for most of the feeders - they still try!) but today the feeders were very popular (clouds of great and blue tits and even a spotted woodpecker). So I expect yours will be popular soon.

I’m feeding the birds again - just a single fat ball a day, so the birds get to know where to come - most are barely interested. At the moment there’s plenty of fruit and berries here, but come the bad weather, my bird table will be weighed down by a multitude of different feeders.

Give them time. Once discovered, your feeder will empty quite quickly. At the moment there is still a lot of food for birds in the wider countryside. When the trees and hedgerows are bare you will probably have plenty of visitors.

Give them time. Word has to get around.
