I wish we had decent size grasshoppers in the UK!<br />Good luck with your bird feeding. I hope it works out for you. <br /><br />Can I suggest that you try a specialist mix of bird seed in your garden, if such a thing is readily available locally? Some idea of what is on offer here - http://www.bamfords.co.uk/products/wild-birds/<br /><br />Looks like we may have identified a little sideline/business opportunity for you by interesting your neighbours in feeding birds in their own gardens and buying the goods from you.<br /><br />http://shopping.rspb.org.uk/birds-wildlife/bird-feeders.html<br />Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953574424150564937.post-11608702231620094432016-10-16T19:39:42.412+01:002016-10-16T19:39:42.412+01:00Your birds and butterflies are lovely , but have t...Your birds and butterflies are lovely , but have to say I especially love your great macro of the grasshopper!

I see you now have Pied and Spotted Fly...Nice work. I see you now have Pied and Spotted Flycatchers in your garden.<br /><br />I was very interested in your comment about your local birds ignoring the Niger. Here all finches seem to go for it as well as sparrows, buntings, pigeons and doves but not warblers obviously. I am wondering if your local birds in such a warm climate are accustomed or need to visit gardens as in Portugal there is a ready supply of food in all seasons? Here that is not so in many months of the year. <br /><br />Also, is there a custom in Iberia of feeding birds? In my years of visiting Spain and Menorca I don't think I have ever seen anyone employing bird feeders. It could be that your birds need educating about using gardens! <br /><br />In the UK and America feding birds is big business to companies who see bird food by the sack and feeders galore of all shapes and sizes.
