Hi Lorraine, thanks for the nice comments. Interested and surprised at what you wrote about bird feeders over there, that it's not such a thriving "hobby" as it is here. I know they've been feeding the wild birds in England for years -recall my grandma hanging suet out for them in her back garden when I was a kid, -- so just assumed "everyone" did this :) You can easily put a lump of suet in a plastic mesh bag and hang it from a tree branch for the hungry birds there in winter (those plastic mesh bags that various veggies are sold in etc)
