I feed ours all year round ;-)

[jaypo]

Ha,penguin,have you read back at what my OH has had to do so I can feed the birds but NOT the crows. We're still winning the battle clkd

[CLKD]

I thought about that yesterday, whether the crows have cracked the code yet 

[Penguin99]

Ha,penguin,have you read back at what my OH has had to do so I can feed the birds but NOT the crows. We're still winning the battle clkd

Yes I did, we have to tie the feeders on because the magpies lift them off the stand and drop them on the floor then go down and fill their boots   think they've realised there's no easy meal here

[jaypo]

Oh yes,the crows used to do this to ours too,or simply stand on top of the feeder,slide down the arm,pick up the feeder and continually bang it so the sunflower hearts would spill all over the ground,I'd admire them if they didn't pee me off so much  but we've won the battle so far,they've been up on the fence and you can see them trying to figure it out but the whole feeder is encased in a cage now,with a drop down door at the front so I can fill up the feeders yay

Hedgehog spent most of the night at the door of it's box.  Scratching  .  It did have a wander several times, I threw out small dried cat food pellets yesterday and it found plenty of those. 

This morning I threw out live meals worms, 1 starling squawked and lots flew down  .  Talk about a look-out!

Bought those vibrating things    TO DETER MOLES  you stick them beside the hills,they've got thousands of 5* reviews on Amazon,anyway 3 new hills  think I saw my OH sobbing in his shed

I'll send my little cat round, Jaypo. She's a fantastic mole catcher. Chicks are still going strong, thankfully.

Tnx for the chicken up date - appropriate for Spring 

My dog caught moles but would hand them to me for despatch.

Loads of bird activity in the garden this afternoon. Blue tits were wrestling bits of sheep's wool that I'd put on some  branches , to line their nests

[CLKD]

   .......... great time wasters 

[jaypo]

Oh yes please barnacle,if she does the job,we're keeping her though 
Lots of crows here,saw one with it's beak absolutely stuffed with moss. They've still not conquered the feeder wooohooo

Hedgehog update: 2 seen in the early hours [on camera], head butting each other 

I have been weeding, deeply - lots of good sized worms .......... as well as live meal worms that have buried themselves.

[jaypo]

Does OH use the worms for his fishing clkd?

[CLKD]

Nope.  He uses flies for trout.  Worms required 4 the garden
