ranch. It is a large feeder, so you need something quite high and
strong enough to take the weight when full. As we wanted to see the
birds, we resorted to getting a tree surgeon (here to do other work)
to fix a chain on a sturdy branch high up, so it dropped in a space
between lower branches.



Thanks for that Cotula, I was on the point of ordering one. When you say
the Buster Plus is large, how long do you think it is? I have tried the
ceramic topped ones, but found that the top did not last long, I suspect
not totally frost proof!


Sorry to take so long to respond - life intruded!

it says it is 710mm high. I think that would include the hanger at the
top, which is an integral part of it.
