The peanuts here are in a special nut feeder and we had a woodpecker on it a
week or two ago but I don't think it's returned. I filled both seed feeders
yesterday and have just looked at them. Both are almost half empty!


I also save any fat from cooking and set it with seeds in empty cat tins and
freeze them as lovely food for Winter birds.


Yes we do that but find they prefer suet to lard! Otherwise, we buy the
balls of fat and seeds from a feed merchant and hang them around all over
the place. They never last long!
