    Had a great day today, although it rained quite a lot. Here is part of my set up for the birds, have had 18 species so far today, and have had male and females of some of the species. Look at the first picture and then see where the birds land in the others. these were taken just a few seconds between apart.

    What a great natural looking set up you have there Kildale. The birds must really appreciate having a variety of food as well as water available to them. Eighteen species is in one day is far more than I get.

    Make that 19 now as the bushtits arrived a short while ago. It does include one starling, they don't come very often. With males and females of some of the species, I have seen a lot of birds today.

    Great variety of perching areas,..and with 19 species to date your construction is paying off.

    I like that set-up. You said it was a "part" of it. Can you show us the rest?
    Seems the birds liked perching on the branches more than the wood?
