For those who spend a fortune on bird seed, fat balls, peanuts etc - try www.wildbirdfood.uk.comThey are reasonably cheap and very quick at delivering. I buy hte economy seed and it is very good - some of hte cheaper bird mixes you can get in shops have a lot of wheat in that the birdies won't eat but this one doesn't and they love it. |

Thanks Jane, I keep thinking that the birds are eating loads then I look at the ground  and see all the seeds there, although I do think it's funny watching them spitting out the seeds they don't like ;D |

The bird table is just outside the garden Leann - but a few wily old devils have worked out that the peanut feeders and fatball feeders are INSIDE the fence and fly in to cleen up....cheeky beggars. And not an egg to show for it either at the moment!
