Morning All,
Happy New Year & hope your all keeping safe & well?
As many of you know I have been establishing a feeding station in my garden, tp which thankfully has been successful & now have some new daily regulars, along with some new sighting along they way (hopefully they will become regulars soon too)
But one thing I wanted to a general consensus on was way in whihc dried mealworms are fed? Currently I feed them on the ground feeder dish, whihc is popular with the Robin & Blackbirds and then I also put some in the dishes that are just over half way up the feeder poles. However the worms in these mid air dishes soon go ones the starling visit. Now as much as I don’t mind this at all because they leave the ground ones alone for the Robins ect, I have read that dried mealworms are also good for attracting tits ect... so should I also off them in a hanging feeder too, like a seed feeder? I know that starling may still have a pick at them, but like with my suet pellets they don’t get no where near as many of them now there also in a standard seed feeder?
Many thanks as always guys
