Best source for bird feeders

[tim]

We have a couple of bird feeders but SWMBO wants some more. We need the hanging ones because of rats and magpies (oh the joy of the countryside) and I was wondering if any of you are back garden twitchers etc and would know of a good supplier, preferably online.

Cheers

Tim,
this is the one we use although hung from a tree rather than the bracket.

Never seen a squirrel get a nut yet. The holes will allow a woodpecker to gets its head through as in the photo and we have also seen a nuthatch get in there as well - really odd to see a bird feed upside down!

We have quite a lot of squirrels because we have two walnut trees. Normally they are very well behaved. However, I once put up two bird feeders and within about half an hour the squirrels had totally destroyed them. To watch them it was like a town centre on a Saturday night at chucking out time :shock: :shock:

We have no squirrels because we have two labradors. I think I saw one once about 4 years ago...

I ordered a bunch of feeders from these guys this morning:

They have a small cheap one for a couple of quid so I ordered 10 or so to stick in the trees.

Tim, can I 'borrow' your labs? We had two walnut trees, both heavily laden with unripe walnuts, and while we were in London, the b*** f** squirrels scoffed the lot. I bagged two last year wih the rifle thinking (hoping?) that heritary memory would be wiped out. Guess the little b***ers have learnt how to write :evil:
