    Feeder to prevent Starlings

    Many thanks for the replies. I'll give the cage a go. I don't want to kick out the starlings, I like them. In the right light their feathers look really nice. Its just I saw to save the berry feed for the tits, as it is the most expensive feed I buy. There is plenty of stuff I put on the bird...

    Feeder to prevent Starlings

    I've been putting out a Berry Fruit Feed for the couple of Blue Tits (and the odd Great Tit) that visit my garden. They love it, but the local starling flock of around 40+ birds do as well.

    That would be my problem. I do spend as much time as possible watching the garden birds (so far up to 16 speicies in 3 months). But I can't say that there for example every Saturday morning or the like.

    Gosport / Pompy/ Hayling Island

Been reading about there being some nice gulls and other rare birds there recently. Just wondering if anyone knows what is...

    Why do many other people think we are strange?

    So you think bird watching is above Train Spotting then... As a train spotter / Plane spotter and recent convert to bird watching I would say that they are all the same.... a hobby.. nothing more... nothing less

    Birds suddenly eating more..

    We'd love goldfinches too, but we already have collared doves... three of them, two of which get bullied by the magpies but the third one pecks back, much to the suprise of the magpies... love to have some smaller birds around, but apart from a robin that seems to live in my garden thats it.

    How many birds would you think is "general knowledge"
