Nyjer seed feeder
I just put some in a feeder I have, first time I've put feeders in this garden apart from a fat ball feeder, and the first time I've bought Nyjer seed. It is seriously small. Anyway I was unsure where to site it. Its a small, square garden, all lawn bounded by a wooden fence. There's a wooden shed intersecting a part of the square on the right, at the front (compost bin behind the shed) The fat ball feeder is hanging on a side of the shed, but for the seed feeder I attached a screw to one of the fence panels and hung it there. Its not quite free hanging, though it can swing side to side and the fence isnt like a solid wall, there are gaps in the panels. I'm just not sure the birds will see it, but my options are limited. I would put a pole in the middle of the garden but that space is occupied by the clothes dryer.
Hopefully I'll get some birds in. I don't have a great deal of hope as there no mature trees nearby (in the middle of a new housing estate) and most of the gardens are fairly barren due to the strict housing association rules (no trees or shrubs allowed)
I also have a peanut feeder to put out, once I get some nuts.
Fingers crossed (I did see a Wren this morning on the water butt)
