The large silver bird feeder from Aldi is great for the younger birds who aren't as good at clinging to the posts on the other feeders yet.
They can stand 'on' the silver one and feed far easier - i am so glad i bought these !!!
I saw them in a GC recently and they're retailing for £19 in there so these at £8 each were a great buy

With all the fledglings our fat ball consumption has doubled. This week they got through 6kg

Yes definitely WF, the blackbirds especially are taking more than usual. Evidently they are having a tough time at the moment because it has been so dry and they can't find enough worms.

At the moment it's pretty constant but it can fluctuate from time to time.
