I am now on a mission! Thanks for the advice.
i get mine from asda...they do boxes that attract bees and boxes that attract butterflies...having tried others before but found asda are by far the best..think they are £2.50 box or 2 boxes for £4..just cut them right down at the end of season and they should come back next year

Cut them back after seeds have had time to drop.

Starlings have become nuisance again, arriving in swarms & devouring the seeds & sultanas in seconds from the bird table. They`re even managing to cling onto the feeders ( so many they broke one of the feeders) I even rigged up a tin with a couple of marbles in & string attached which i can jerk up & down to scare them but after a while they just ignore it. Not my favourite birds ! In between chasing starlings I've bought myself a solar panel & large battery which i can plug my water feature & garden lights. Even managed to run the washing machine with it.
