| | Welcome to our newest member, rickyhobson | |  | Posted 24-01-2012 at 09:25 PM by jaelen Updated 25-01-2012 at 09:23 AM by jaelen I got the idea for this when I was visiting my parents in the States over Christmas. I came across a bird-feeder especially designed for woodpeckers, with a bit protruding at the bottom to give the bird something to brace its tail against, the way it would against the surface of a tree.

This made it difficult to see the birds as they disappeared into troughs.
There were masses of gulls and ducks... | Member of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 3
