I haven't looked at the birds as much Fly -  have been really busy so not much chance to watch, maybe over the weekend. Would love to spot one of the baby Robins.

@ Fly good idea that, we had big probs with pidgeons and Doves --- greedy guts aren't they, to big for garden feeding. Managed to get rid of them by altering the feeders as you have (not heard from wilco's yet). Have looked at the wooden ones like you have but wondered how well they clean - let me know at some point please.

Forgot to get some bird seed this weekend.
Usually get the Wilko's stuff. £2.89 for a 1.5kg bag ??

Our_Lass just called at the pet food place in Carr Vale.
£9.50 for a 20kg sack, guess we won't be buying Wilko's again  ;)

Forgot to post this. We had a call from Wilco's last week, letting us know that the bird feeders had been looked into - and it seems ours was the only one which did this ??

Let's hope it was a dodgy 1 off then. At least they got back to you  ;)
