Good luck with it Dave, although I would have found some way to hang some of it from the branches so that the small birds, like Blue Tits, can feed on it better.
If you haven't anything to hand then perhaps an old margarine tub (or something like it) would suffice. Put a hole in it near to the top. Tie some string through it then creating a loop pass it over a branch and let it hang. You could stick a thick twig into it which creates a perch for the birds.
