 I am trialling a new 'Suet to Go' Hanging feeder, but wanted to protect it from the magpies. I decided to wall mount a hanging basket frame onto the fence and hang the feeder in the middle. The blue and great tits were first to visit, then robin and dunnock. The perch means more small birds can use it. I am hoping the woodpecker will visit before long.

 Using four small sieves (or tea strainers), I built this to stop the magpies taking all the food that I put out for the woodpeckers and the smaller birds. It builds upon what I created on my first sieve feeder. All you need is 2 hanging basket frames, 4 small tea strainers / sieves, some cable ties, screws and a piece of wood.... Play the slideshow for instructions on how to make the 'Sieve Sphere'. It only took a couple of minutes before the birds were using it!

Get KreATivE !Welcome to this blog which aims to become a place where I can share all my 'KreATivE' projects. I have had so much interest in the ways that I attract wildlife to my garden, that I thought it might be a good idea to have a central place to 'keep' all the project ideas that you can try in your garden too! It will be a mix of projects past (as I try to catch up on previous KreATivE projects I have created) and new ones as I conjure them up! I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to try them in your patch as well. ArchivesProjects for..... |
