Thumbs up I'm a newbie!!

Hi all

I am new to this forum. I live in Livingston which is in West Lothian in Scotland (there may be someone out there who knows where I'm at) and I am most upset because we have no small birds visitiing the garden despite the fact that we have put out a number of varied feeders and feed. However, we did see a robin today - that's a start.

We're hoping that he goes away and spreads the word!!!!! It would make out day.

Hi Salgor, welcome to WAB. You will find plenty of posts in the bird forum on attracting birds to the garden. I hope the robin starts bringing his mates soon - it is so rewarding watching them feed. Enjoy the site and see you around.

Thanks for all your kind welcomes.

Mr Robin has been back again today so he is obviously checking that we are not just a flash in the pan!!

Hi Big Bill

Thanks for your welcome.... all our food is in feeders except for some apple and cheese which I have put out on the table with some water. By the way didn't see Mr robin today.

Re: I'm a newbie!!

Hello, I'm new to the forum too and I live across the country from your in sunny East Lothian

What type of area do you live in? Are there many trees/bushes etc. What about your garden? Are there lots of cats about? Just trying to build a picture of why you may not be getting as many birds as you hope for. If you've only just started to feed them it'll take time for them to arrive, but you should persevere and hopefully Mr. Robin will bring his friends (although he doesn't have many as he's a territorial little guy!) lol
