New Bird Table

I was given a bird table for Christmas and it's now placed outside with dangly bird holders for the bluetits and such like and a variety of food on the ground for blackbirds and robins (chopped up apples, some raisin bagels). How long did it take for birds to find your new table?

I can see little birds hopping about in the hedges and trees about 15 feet away but so far my gourmet feast has been rejected :(

I want birds in my garden goddammit!!!! Grin

No problem! Whilst we been out, all the fig rolls have been swiped and I'm sure that half one of the apple pieces has gone as well.

Probably mice

Bugger :(

In our garden it takes the birds about two hours and the squirrels about two minutes Smile

what was your secret food weapon in the end? I think that I've got a robin and two blackbirds interested and a great tit was definitely eyeing up the bird table. Here's hoping for tomorrow!
