I made a post about the home made feeders last year<br />http://chateaumoorhen.blogspot.fr/2012/06/home-made-bird-feeding-stations.html<br />I can't make that a clickable link (don't know how) but copy and paste the link and it will show you my husband's innovative idea. Our original bird table which he made kept blowing over in the wind so he came up with this idea.Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-38020605827460302152013-01-23T09:15:16.762+01:002013-01-23T09:15:16.762+01:00I don't really know, Diana.

There are far fewer different species visiting the feeders than I had in more built up areas in previous gardens. Maybe I have more real habitat and food for them in my wild areas? (which is good of course). We see kingfishers here occasionally but sometimes go a long time between seeing them. Glad yours is back!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-74761194687418982172013-01-22T22:02:37.757+01:002013-01-22T22:02:37.757+01:00I like your feeding house.I like your feeding house.Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-66754364317096506082013-01-22T18:38:19.727+01:002013-01-22T18:38:19.727+01:00wonder why you have less variety of bird life than...wonder why you have less variety of bird life than you did at first?

I know so little about North American birds, but have been learning about some of them from the images on G+ and the lovely butterflies there too.<br /><br />So you have tits too! Yup it's a fun word :-) Thanks for visiting, Sherrie. I don't know how you have time with your blog party going on! I wish I had known about that earlier. Sounds like a good way to get to know other blogs/bloggers.

We have tits here in the U.S. but I haven't had the pleasure of seeing one yet. They kind of remind me of our little Red-breasted Nuthatches and chickadees. Love the shot with the tit on the orange too.

Yes it's a Hazel, I call it my wiggly Hazel but it's a Corylus avellana 'Contorta' if we want to be all correct. :-) Looks fab in winter and early spring when all the catkins are flowering, then looks a total mess when it has leaves on! It's really for winter decoration, this tree.Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-33647730547019332642013-01-21T17:36:47.695+01:002013-01-21T17:36:47.695+01:00Like the last twisty Hazel(?) shot a lot.
