Yay! :D Bird table being used!

[Zoundz]

I know this won't seem like much to many - but we spent hours building a bird table last week - out of scraps of wood we found in our barn. We screwed hooks in to hang things from, and gave it interesting perches etc - and it doesn't look like much - it's a bit rubbish - but we made it and so we were rather proud. Seen no birds on it either and then came back home last weekend to find it had been ransacked so we held little hope for much happening with it - but we tidied it up again - and since... WELL! ;D

yesterday we saw a robin and a blue tit - and today chaffinch, robin, blackbird, dunnock... I am over the moon that they are finally using the table, and obiously grateful for the food - as we had frost today!

sorry to ramble, I was just excited

It's always exciting to get birds on bird table, espicially if you've made it yourself. I hope you get many more birds visiting and it sounds like you already have your regulars

When you it was ransacked, what by?

I suspect starlings or rooks - or possibly foxes. We have all here. The rooks and starlings tend to stick to my compost heap though so not sure. Definitely not people, we have more foxes here than people! hehe! I doubt very much it was the fox though, I made sure it was high enough that they couldn't reach, and they never come near the garden as we have a dog and they're a bit wary. It wasn't detroyed either - a fox would have knocked it over I expect, all that had happened was one of the seed feeders had been broken apart and the peanut feeder had been knocked off and *all* the food had gone lol

still - it's nto happened since, Iread a few things that said to keep rooks and starlings away, feed very early or very late as they tend not to bother and so far, nothing else has happened.
