Does anyone in the UK use nyjer feeders to feed Goldfinches?

If yes, where do you buy them, are they easily cleaned and do the Goldfinches use them ok?

I used Peckish, clear tube feeders which are great but after a few years outside in all weathers are deteriorating and need replacement. Peckish no longer sells them. Instead they're selling nyjer feeders made of a metal tube covered in holes. How does the rain not get in and soak the seeds 🤔

Boosts much appreciated.

OH heard a lot of grunting outside our kitchen window in the middle of the night. On looking to see, turns out it was two hedgehogs "very much in love" 😄💕

Seems there might be a family of hedgehogs soon 🤗

You're going to think I've lost it but I absolutely LOVE watching Aggretsuko!

She goes into a karaoke booth after work and sings death metal to release all her pent up rage.

It's just brilliant!

Takes me back to working in London... I could've done with singing death metal on the way home.

Two years.

Can't help but feel someone is pushing drastic and intense wars, in an effort to make us look away from what big oil and big money are doing to our planet.

When I first started work I was typing (on an old, manual typewriter) documents to release shipments.

The documents needed 3 further copies and we used a sheet of carbon paper between each A4 sheet. Any mistakes made could only be corrected - using a Tippex brush - on the first, original sheet (for the customer).

The carbon paper was used and reused many times.

This is where CC come from - Carbon Copy.

Just in case you're interested 😁

Does anyone know, has the BBC given up with The Sky At Night series?

I don't often eat sweets but I have had the odd Haribo - once a year, probably less. (I don't count chocolate as a sweet, it's a necessity 😋)

Now I've found these though, goodbye Haribo!

These are LOVELY!

Highly recommend 💕

I wondered if Ralph was short for anything but it's apparently a standalone name. It derives from the Old English Rædwulf and Old High German Radulf, cognate with the Old Norse Raðulfr (rað "counsel" and ulfr "wolf").

I do like the Old Norse names.

Took this off the top of a garden bucket filled with water a couple of years ago.

The beauty of it still amazes me.

I've been a little quiet on here recently. We've both contracted Covid (for the first time). Now I understand people saying it made them feel as though they've been steamrollered 😥

This opened my eyes to much of what happened during the revolution in Portugal back in 1974 (my older relatives could not bring themselves to speak about it), and to what's going on there now.

Silva and Ventura are two brave people 💕

A very good read.
