I was quite impressed that I was able to find the hanging bracket, the feeder and the feed in the space of less than 10 minutes among the great variety of clutter in the garage and that I was able to complete the installation in less than a further 10 minutes.
Starting at the top we have the handy, substantial & permanent screw eye (Screwfix reference 17867), the crucifix (made by yours truly) and, at the bottom, the window frame (also made by your truly. Impressive except that I did chicken out of making a window with a casement).
And I am pleased to report that, despite the mild weather and the proximity of the viewing window (out of picture, to the right), a great tit had found the feeder by 0630 this morning, whereas I had been expecting to have to wait for another week. Last year, there were no impressive tweets but there was some sport with squirrels and pigeons trying their luck. Robins, generally speaking, were quite intelligent, simply waiting for the seed to fall onto the table beneath.
