Hi everyone

My apologise for neglecting the site for so many weeks. Turning a shrub and lawn garden into a veg garden,complete with a couple of greenhouses, has taken some doing (especially for someone who for many many years thought Manual Labour was a Spaniard). All I have to do now is to try and get something to grow.

Did a sneaky one with the second greenhouse.Its polycarbonate with an extra wide door and is cunningly sited in close proximity to the feeders.All I need to do is open the doors and drape some camaflauge netting over the opening....instant hide. Not that we get many colourful birds around here but it should be fun anyway

Sounds like a good idea. You may be surprised what turns up, on the odd occasion when I spend time looking out of the window, I always seem to catch the Wren, which I never normally notice.
