This year is the first time I had long tits visiting my garden. I guess many coconut halves filled with suet and seeds have been a great motivation ☺️
I found those half coconut feeders extremely handy, they are tidy, compact, squirrels don’t touch them but the little birds love them. And mostly reasonably priced too.
The sparrowhawk shredded a collared dove the other day - I've not yet seen other birds coming to recycle all the feathers, but they got rained on - perhaps the birds are waiting for them to dry before incorporating into a nest.

Gosh this is interesting. I wonder why? have many (many!) squirrels and have a few systems to try and discourage them. I have always avoiding buying coconut shell bird feeders as presumed they would be straight on them?
I reuse my coconut halves by melting down packets of Atora suet (other brands available), mixing seeds, sultanas,mealworms etc. into it then laying them on their backs in egg boxes to set. Cheaper than buying new ones as my birds clear them so quickly.
