Has the council started putting out food for thornley hide yet?
ReplyDeleteNice to see the feeders and feed at lamesley, got me thinking about maybe placing feeders around gateshead in areas good for birdwatching and keeping seed/etc in hides ans then maybe us birdwatchers could buy a bag every few weeks to contribute and help keep feeders topped up, I think it would be a good. Idea and personally I don't mind buying feed when needed I think there a few good places to hang feeders in the area and as long as there not to obvious. They won't be thieved. What do u think?
