Started to 'watch'. Ginger and Tortoiseshell local cats decide to install themselves on fence at bottom of garden. Therefore no takers. (apart from Joe, our resident Robin and owner of bird table and garden, who, I believe, even considered on taking the cats!) Tried next day. Wind and rain. Therefore no takers. Not even Joe! Only Squirrel, who seemed rather chuffed with the ground feeder containing nuts, pastry and other tasty treats. Ho hum.
How funny, we had hardly any birds too, no problem with cats, our cat is too old to scare birds any more at 19!
