    Longtailed Tits on feeders

    Daily I get a flock of about 10 evry day - always around 3pm. They only seem to use 1 particular Peanut feeder and ignore the other food and feeders. Bob

    Birds suddenly eating more..

    Hi Matt, Yes I have noticed it - filling 3 peanut feeders every other day. They have caught us a bit unawares as we are waiting for our wholefood delivery so no sunflower hearts till next week. By the way I have found that it is much cheaper for us to buy sacks of peanuts and sunflower hearts...

    Making own Bird Food

    Hi Oceans, I use a similar method to Jason but with Vegetable fat - it works fine. If the mixture is too runny I add some rolled oats to dry it up. Bob

    UK Customs and Excise Charges on Bins from USA.

    Bins under £150

    I'm a bi-focal wearing born again birder. Having roamed the optics shops and cringed on seeing the price tickets on albeit superb binos I plumbed for a second-hand pair of Swift Audubon 8.5 x 44 (the old style) and have found them wonderful. I'm sure that in the future I will catch bino-envy and...
