    Anyone know how to stop the birds raiding hanging basket liner? Someone suggested using conifer sprigs woven through the wire baskets.

    Hang out some alternatives for them to collect up for nests Steve, and keep your hanging baskets tucked away somewhere  image

    Do you have hanging baskets out at this time of year? image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'd rather have the birds than the baskets. image

    I would be happy if birds were taking my hanging basket liner (if I had some).

     

    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

    I have had long tailed tits collecting spiders webs from around the windows today.

    aren't long tailed tits just adorable?
