nothing as industrial for me ..... just a pile of bird feeders form home bargains dotted about the garden and fat balls.....
fair enjoy watching them from kitchen window or from hot tub in garden if yer sitting quietly ...
i was wondering about putting more out round the other side of house .... when i get back off this floating hell hole north o Shetland, this thread giving me the push to buy more do more.
and if get more evenings in garden with the old fac theobhan rapid 12 and the NV or thermal than a nights fun out of it as well.
i have noticed last year we never used to have magpies in garden .... now half dozen or more going about so .....mmmmmmm

Two Derbyshire countryside conservationists named in prestigious awards

What Geoff has done up on Abney moor is pretty amazing. It's not just a purely innovative approach either, he's also rebuilt hundreds of meters of stone walls that would otherwise disappear. It's a beautiful place to spend time in.
It's a pity yourself and all the others put forward for these awards don't get the credit you deserve from outside out community.

We are having plenty of interest now from many of the wildlife trusts - the forestry commission has just invited us to apply for their higher level stewardship - even the RSPB in fairness and our MPs have acknowledged our work - so pretty / very positive

My boss's wife won 100 metres of mixed thorn hedging quicks in the GWCT raffle/auction
They've been delivered and being planted this coming week. What a brilliant prize!
Started servicing mine this week and had a couple of maggies and a couple of crows as "friends" this winter - feeding them on carrion and stuff - so should be easy for catching for decoys
