In the absence of a proper bird table I created this with branches. I was quite pleased, but apart from a small crowd of great tits the other day there has been very little interest from the birds. Perhaps it is too low, or they worry it will fall over if they perch on it! I’ll hopefully get something more attractive to them sorted after Christmas

Here’s a thought, maybe your fake tree is too far out in the open. Small birds like a bit of cover. Maybe hang one of the feeders low down in a genuine tree and see what happens. It usually takes birds about 3-4 days to think about something different in a garden. Before long you will be buying bird seed by the sackful.!

That’s a good point Cordy. I put it fairly near to a small apple tree as I know that they like somewhere to perch before approaching the feeders. I shall put it right up against it now I think. I also need to move it to allow Ben to get around on the sit on mower today- more hijinks later!!!
