There is a continuing growth in feeding the bird
population, and the joy that it brings to us all to see both common and rare
birds in our gardens. So to help you to attract the various species, and provide
vital food for them, why don't you buy a feeder from the Woodlanders? There
are 4 different types of feeders - two for peanuts, bread slice feeder (slot a slice
of bread in and the birds can peck away) and an apple feeder (just take an
apple, spear on the spike and hang it up). Prices are £1.50 for a bread slice
feeder, £2 for an apple feeder, and £3/£3.50 for the peanut feeders, depending
on size. Contact Chris on 01273 495026, buy one at the Wassail, or we hope to
soon have the bird feeders on sale at Rock House Nurseries in Washington,
just off the A24.
