I've had 2 bird tables/lanterns hung up since last winter, changed the food every couple of weeks because the birds haven't touched them.

Got fat balls, suet tray, bird seed, peanuts, they worst bit is the birds sit in the trees at the back of the garden just feet away from the feeders.

I've hung it off of poles, like a hangman's scaffold, now its under the eaves of the shed.

Only thing we can put it down to is the neighbours cat that walks along the top of the fence.

 

Will keep putting it out though, hopefully they will start using it, love seeing the birds in the garden

Sunflower hearts, they eat them like going out of fashion, we have to fill feeders every other day, peanuts for red squirrels, screwed a board to the window ledge outside the kitchen window and stuck a feeder on the window, fat balls.

 

I think last winter we were ordering seed etc once a fortnight.
