The old wooden home made frame for holding the bird feeders is being dismantled. It has to go as it is in the way of a small summer house I hope to erect next week - if it doesn't snow. I wanted to replace it with something which wasn't so spread out so on the way back from my annual check up at the hospital I called in the local Wyevale Garden Centre. I didn't expect to find anything so was pleasantly surprised not only to find something ideal, but also at a reasonable price.
There are hooks for hanging up to 12 feeders. The feeders were not included. It hadn't been put in place for very long before a Blue Tit was brave enough to investigate. A Robin thought about it but bottled out. Of course it didn't take long for a few Starlings to try out every feeder.
To me it looks a tad overcrowded but the birds don't mind and it is for them.
The hospital check up went well again this year so it will be another 12 months before I start fretting again.
Very impressive......Summer House? You are an optimist
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Doesn't have to be blazing hot to use a bit of shelter to enjoy some fresh air ;)
DeleteNice to see someone talking about summer. It's a long way off here. The feeder hanger looks great. Perhaps I can find one. I have two feeders close together in my window, and the birds do not seem to mind. Looking forward to some great shots at the new feeders.
ReplyDeleteBonnie: With all the snow showers and cold winds it seems Winter is not over yet but it's nice to have something to look forward to.

ReplyDeleteTWG. I've even had one female Blackbird follow us on the early morning walk looking for its breakfast.
DeleteI can imagine it as a merry go round with music, too! Looking good, and hope you share the summer house project. Glad to hear the check up went well :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea Glo, especially when too many greedy Starlings descend on it. I could spin them all off!!
