That really is a classy bird table, does anyone else have one as good?

That's a very nice table Dave! I'm looking for something similar to that and I've just had a look at that table and two cheaper but similar on B&Q's website and I think I'm going to buy one. Surprised that B&Q struggle to spell 'Assembly' correctly though...
It says that this one and the middle priced one do not come with fittings but the cheapest one does. What's that all about? Anyway, it looks very nice and glad to see that you're getting visitors too 
The trouble is, because we're in Norfolk, it's rather flat and windy and I'm worried that the table might blow over- is there anything we can do to make sure it stays upright? The £20 table is the heaviest, so it looks like that's the way to go! |

Don't forget to anchor the bottom so that when the cats make a dive at the birds it won't fall over and break

Hi Dave - that's a brilliant table.
Just a word of warning. The suet balls should be fed in a feeder - the netting can trap birds' feet.

Good shout. If it comes to it, I could drill a couple of stakes onto the sides and dig them in. | | | |
