After changing my feederto a place they can't reach to The Crows and Jackdaws have not been back which is great and when I looked out this morning I saw lots of birds (Blue Tits and Coal Tits) feeding over it if you saw my tree it was absaulty teaming with life birds were everywhere I joked to my Mum saying we should put a banner up saying "WELCOME BACK WE MIISED YOU" because as the Crows and Jackdaws have been menace's and pinched the bird food the little one's were not around so its great to have them back. Ps I even saw a Coal Tit land on the perch of the nestbox and he looked around and flew over to the nest pocket thing in the tree mebe he can't make up his mind up yet. I will keep an eye on things and if anything great happen's I'll post it here.

Very good,Euan,you can buy plastic domes which fit over the top and underneath the feeders so the bigger birds and squirrels cannot keep their balance and they just slide off.I think they are available from CJ birds.

Thats good news. I'm having a problem with Jackdaws and Crows at the moment. They are taking the seed feeder of its hook and dropping it on the ground. I'll have to find a way to make it harder for the Crows to pick the feeder up.

I have 2 of them Euan they are great, expensive compared to non-squirrel proof, but worth every penny.
