I'll definitely be making one of thoseIt's fascinating mate watching this table every day, we load it up with sunflower seeds and peanuts, the blue tits, great tits etc easily climb through the mesh while the jays can grip onto it.
I promise to post pics when I get round to it. . . . . . . . . . . .but give me a month or so, I've got a lot on lol

Since my last post on this thread, I intended on building some extra storage onto the back of my garden shed to utilise the 'wasted space' behind it.
I got a bit carried away and now my 8ft x 6ft shop bought 'flat pack' pent roofed shed has morphed into a 8ft x 16ft x 12ft workshop with 6ft 5in head height plus an apex for storage. I replaced the small perspex window with a 12 pain glazed Georgian style window (cut down from an old front door) I just need to add a few extra sockets and more lighting now to complete it.
Also, a mate of mine (an ex joiner) has donated a workbench that he made complete with 9in carpenters vice.
I'm absolutely over the moon with it.
Next on the agenda is a version of @Andy C's bird table . . . . . . . SOON!

not in my garden , but driving onto the approach road to switch island this morning about 05.20 am A large Barn owl swooped down just over my car windscreen , bloody impressive thing all white front about 2 and a half foot wide wingspan.
If it had been a van not a car would have hit it.
in the garden have seen frogs, hedgehogs, various birds currently a war going on between two magpies and a pair of brown birds look like a bigger version of sparrows ?
one of them follows me around the garden when i am doing the borders really close by , goes nuts if the magpies are around, and seems to attract support to get them away.
of a night i can hear a weird sort of screeching from a bird but have never seen it.

That screeching will be a Barn Owl mate. They make some very weird and disturbing noises.
Getting hit by cars etc is possibly the biggest killer after wet winters ( can’t hunt due to their feathers getting water logged )
The noise they make is a bit like the death rattle of @Frank. girlfriend as she drew her final breath.

They her final words?
I live in Finland and we have a fair few visitors .We have white -tailed deer ,moose ( the Finns call them elks but apparently they are not ) foxes, lynx and roe deer
all walking through our garden as we live near a lake and the "gamekeeper" feeds them at the end of our garden .We have lots of birds from cranes to long tailed tits in the garden ,although I think the cranes just land for a breather ,they make a hell of a noise .We also have three different woodpeckers and flying squirrels and a few owls . Saying that we do live in the forest ,there was also a bear near us ( 500metres) but we only read it in the local paper.
We also have many coloured adders and a couple of other snakes ,hedgehogs and lizards along with a few kinds of rodents.
