In true Blue Peter style, i furnished a feeder from the bottom of a 3ltr ginger bottle which none of the birdies would go near. I wanted something that the pigeons wouldn't attempt to land on as they're bullying the smaller birds off the tables and eating the lot.
i thought that the edges might be a bit sharp so cut ribbed drinking straws lengthway and tied them round the edges but still not much activity as the seed hasn't moved.
then today i see Mr Robin and Mr Blue-Tit have found it. It's still being ignored by the sparras but I'm pleased nevertheless.
