Must be opened large

 

(what is that in the feeder? looks like a slice of cake!)

Is the picture too big?

It's a suet block. The birds love them,

nanny that's sweet....bless him. they have to fend for themselves so soon don't they.

I presume it's quite a young blackbird, but it is very big. 
He had been coming more and more on his own for the past week and waits for the pigeons to have their fill before tucking in. We have had to put a small separate bird table up for the blue-tits so they can get their share.

And do the other birds leave that one alone?

[NannyFerret]

He comes mostly on his own. Have seen other adults but not any others with this one.
I found you previous post. I don't know what happened but it's back now, unless it's my eyes playing up again.lol

How has the picture displayed? as it's the first time that I have posted the IMG link on it's own so you don't have to go into Photobucket for an enlargement. and i have 24 mps on the new camera.

[bugmeister]

well if you didn't resize it then the software did, to bring it down to a manageable size, and it looks fine

[NannyFerret]

Thank you. There's nothing worse  that trying to move and extra large pic  around the screen trying to view all parts of it, is there?

i make my own suet cakes and fat balls nanny. i just melt down a couple of blocks of lard, add sultanas, suet, and other bits, then put it in containers for the sizes i need to fit my feeders. the birds go made for it. i don't let them have it through the summer though cause it melts in the sun, (sun, that's a joke)

Perfect!

Thanks everyone. I am chuffed that he was so friendly andd I could get a couple of shots from close up.

 

Annie, we buy three suet blocks in a pack each in it's own container, for £1.69p so it probatbly works out just as cheap.

It's quite firm and doesn't met to much in the heat.

They are from a shop called "Home Bargains" and their bird food is very reasonable. Even cheaper than the £ shop.

You could Google to see if there is one anywhere near you as I think there are a few spread around..
