Ok a hefty £60 spent today ( mums money) on squirrel proof EVERYTHING !...( we hope) and that includes a high pole that you can screw into the base of the metal/glass multi port seed feeder too...( into the bottom if you get me) ..it looks squirrel proof but they are clever little ****
two more round caged squirrel proof nut feeders, A Squirrel proof (ish) fat ball feeder....and for the little grey one and his many chums they now have their own squirrel feeder ( lift the top get your nuts) which im sure they will destroy or exploit
bird table wash cleaned, scrubed then re stained dark oak ( water based and yes i left it until it was properly dry before putting back out)
and we also bought a potato sack size bag of nuts and got fatballs and seed etc.....
Should keep them going a little while longer now hopefully the feeders are not being emptied daily by the grey ones.
The old wooden slate roof feeders so exploited by the grey ones have been recycled and given a clean and one is now a bamboo packed insect house the other a hemlock stalk packed insect house hanging off each end of my shed !
So all in all a good day.....finished setting it all up at about 6pm so no sign of mr squirrel or the birds but instead a huge red
Fox came sniffing round the new feeders and ate any odd peanuts that had dropped to the ground !
