Today a few more birds arrived: Two Starlings, Twelve Goldfinch in total, Five Blackbirds in total, Three Great Tit in total plus the ones I mentioned over weekend. Things are looking up Ray this end. 

Like Pete am hoping for Siskin (not been for a few year) and maybe Brambling (not been since 2019) , fingers crossed for Redwings and Fieldfares when the countryside berries run out.

Will try and upload a couple of pics of both gardens sometime.

Just found out that Wilko are selling 12.75 kilo bags of sunflower hearts at £25 +P/P BUT Amazon are selling Wilko same size bag and contents as part of their Black Friday deal for £21 and if you want it next day p/p is £4.99 otherwise its free delivery (like have got) by Thursday. I normally buy from Wilko online (usually get four kilo bags) and get all stuff delivered as I refuse to go in shops unless empty.

PS: also purchased an all-metal seed feeder from Amazon for back garden, today the birds were squabbling, they weren't interested in fat balls or nuts in back garden.

Pete,

Home Bargains in Scunny have a few shops, one in Ashby Broadway, one on Lakeside Shopping Park close to A18 Morrison's roundabout, one on the Skippingdale Estate off Phoenix Parkway and one in Scunthorpe High Street I think near Cole Street. They have shops all over. Before Covid went there most weeks. But I haven't been to any shops anywhere since. Pity they don't deliver, will make enquiries.

John

PS: there ie one at Grimsby, Immingham and Skegness and lots of other places. Hope this helps.
