Annoying thing is Lidl had them in about a month/6 weeks ago but didn't need them then . . . . do now and no idea when they'll be in again.
This is the damage the squirrel did to one of the feeders, 2nd one was just as bad 
We have a dome to prevent vermin climbing the pole, I'd dropped that a couple of inches to stop the magpies standing on it to get at the feeders, the new height must have been in leaping range for the squirrel. Its back to original height again. |
Blimey! they've done a number on that feeder
Wilko's have a lot of different bird feeders in store if there's one near you.
I'm just watching the pigeons trying to feed on the bird feeders
, I've pulled them away from the laurel tree & this crafty begger is perched on a branch higher than the feeding hole & bending the branch down with it's weight so he can feed
I'm going to have to pull them even further out, That's the only place the neighbourhood cats cant get at them.
