    Out here in Shropshire, we've had mom and dad woodpecker for a while. I feel honoured, especially as they brought the baby today. It sort of makes up for the loss of hedgehogs.

    ...............and you thought I was clever, no such luck. After about 30mins the starlings found how to get in. Gits. Because its been like stair rods here today, I cant take a pick of the prototype. Its basically a tube of weldmesh, and have fixed the feeder, inside. Its crude atm, and I'm...
