Hi all
The wife and I have had bird feeders for as long as we can remember ,they
were always hanging off the fence.
Since we have moved house putting the feeders on the fence we could not get a proper visual on the birds feeding so decided to get a bird table to put on the patio.
One morning the fatball feeder was lying on the patio empty ,we put it down to the wind.
Then it happened again and again,so I covered the hook and in the morning the nut feeder had been taken down and dragged up the garden ,in all five times.
I have a fully enclosed garden so thinking it might be a cat,crow or gull I don't know, no foot or paw prints nothing,i also have two bull terriers sleeping in the kitchen who normally bark or whine whenever there is any goings on,obviously dead to the world.
Anyone with any ideas I would be grateful.

Thank you

Hi Peter and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

LOL I quickly ran out of options - as one culprit possibility would be a grey squirrel, but I don't think you'd get them up there. Corvids would certainly be the most likely I'd think. You need a CCTV camera I think LOL.

All things Scottish can be found here. Keep an eye on threads titled Scottish Bashes, we usually have one or two meetings each year and they're all great fun.

thanks for the reply,
cctv was mentioned by wife ,shes going to keep an eye on things while I am away to sea for the next few weeks.

Doesn't that drive you crazy? I know it does me but normally, it's the raccoons or squirrels being the culprit.
