So when I moved to another apartment in the summertime, I stopped feeding them. Your pictures make me miss them, though.

We have slightly colder weather today in London are promised record high temperatures somewhere in the UK, and most of Europe is far too warm and no snow. Sad for all the ski stations who have traditionally had a lot of business at this time of year. Our village (in Switzerland) was on the Swiss news last night. Gorgeous blue skies and bright sunshine so it looks lovely.... but no snow.

I've tried so many different feeders to keep the squirrels off, but I haven't tried the type you have. Last winter I was just throwing the seeds onto the ground to give everyone a fair chance. Otherwise the squirrels would hang from the feeders until they were empty, which took about half an hour. If you say these feeders work, I think I may try them next!<br />Merry Christmas!<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-46178648921164333512016-12-23T21:44:10.525-05:002016-12-23T21:44:10.525-05:00My goldfinches also come in large groups.
