Since we moved to our new house in #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire in Oct we've been counting bird species seen & heard - 52 so far!
We're very pleased with the siskins & esp #REDPOLLS. They're not rare here but they're not common either so it's a joy to see 2 pairs visiting the feeders every day!

Any recommendations for a niger seed feeder that won't spill its contents at the slightest breeze or when the fat pigeon tries to land on it? Bonus points for being easily cleaned and an integral tray that catches anything that falls out.
UK suppliers hugely preferred, alternatives considered if the shipping isn't outrageous.
Where do the #birds go? And where do they come from?
My hand painted #map of bird migrations answers some of those questions.
