free bird…
bird feeders...
i have about ten of these bird feeders dotted around the garden. The ones on the right are good for the seed – but the larger birds seem to prefer the nuts… I’ll probably give it about a week and then I’ll put them back up again.
I tend not to put them near the berried plants like the cotoneaster and hollys mainly because nature has a role to play.
little gem..
I bought the really cool silver ones [left] from the petsore in swords [i they they were about €10 each] and the lesser plastic ones in Dunnes Stores [i can't remember how much they cost but their not very strong by the way... so i've lost some over time]. The seeds and nuts I bought in Fingal Farm Supplies in Ballyboughal.
Collins book have a gem book, a really simple book for bird identification suited moreso i might suggest to the nature lover rather than the bird enthusiast. Combined with other really useful bird blogs like Craig Nash’s and you’re flying!
The reason I like doing this is because it’s easy, it’s relaxing and it make my house feel like a home. It really makes the landscape perfect.
Thanks for the link much appreciated.
