My Garden feeders (in the rain)

Have enjoyed looking at the other posts with tours of peoples garden so thought I would add my own as they are today.  It has been steadily drizzling all day but regulars have all popped in at some point.

Today however for the first time both a goldfinch and a sparrow have flown into the net around the trampoline.  This has never happened before and I am hoping my children will not protest too much to me getting rid of it after this summer. I want to plant more trees and shrubs in this frankly dismal and bare area of the garden.

 

This is the Sparrows area. They seem to be loving the new position of these feeders and visit several times a day in groups of about 8 -15. The suet feeder was a favourite if the bluetits, but they have not touched it for about a week in favour of seeds.

The dunnocks and robins clean up under the feeders.

The table and ground feeder are used mainly bu pigeons, starlings, doves and magpies with the occasional visit from Blackbirds and Robins

This pole is a new addition since the arrival of goldfinches.  There are only two most days, but there have been three.  The blutits now use this as well for the sunflower hearts. (and sometimes a starling). The strange bamboo poles are constructed to stop my dog charging over the top of the small shrubs i planted in the autumn.

This is the current position of my guardian feeder, but it's still mainly starlings and pigeons trying to get at the contents.

This is a previoulsy unloved area which I am hoping the pyrachantus will grow up and cover the fence.  There box has been visited several times so am hoping for occupation.  The ground feeder is used by wood pigeons when the feral pigeons are on the other one. There is on on it as I type as he seems to prefer this location.

 

 

 

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...
