Wilkinson wants to help you attract some feathered friends!

[WilkinsonGarden]

Hi All

Didn't i say there would be more!!

Wilkinson have teamed up with Bill Oddie's bird foods to offer you the chance to samples some of his new recipes, and see if you can attract more wildlife to your garden!

Let me know if you would be interested in trying these out - it would be great to see some pictures of any feathered friends who do take up your offering!

[Pacey]

Im guessing you want our details in boxing again? well i already did anyway lol

[WilkinsonGarden]

Don't worry Pacey already got you on my list! Everyone who has inboxed me - i'll be sending out samples soon. Will be great to see some pictures!

Best

Gemma

[lazydog]

piccys wont be a problem will be pleased to help, the feathered friends are nesting all over the place at the moment.
lets hope they like Mr Oddie's seed more than my greens

[Pacey]

My feed came today, will get it stuck out soon and be on the look out for birds to snap lol

[Pacey]

Put it out and no birdies managed to find it while i was watching today but will keep my eyes open

with in 10 seconds of putting Bill Oddies food out this pair of doves came and dined and even chased the pigeons off
thanks Gemma

Coo, that was quick.

[lazydog]

The doves came back today and bought there off spring but couldn't take any pictures at the time i was weeding but was about 8' away amazing site i felt privaliged

I have scatterd the bird food all over the grass, we don't have any trees to hang fird feeders on
It seems to have attractes a fair amount of attention
But to be honst, most of them come along anyhow, but never seen them picking at birdfood though
Has anybody an idea what the black and white one in the shrubbery is?

[Helen83]

Is there still a chance of getting some bird food? All i can attract at the moment is pigions,

[Lesley Jay]

Hi Helen, send Gemma (WilkinsonGarden) a private message asking her if there's a possibility.

Try this RSPB site they have an identifier
The RSPB: Bird identifier: Identifier
Could it be a pied wagtail?

[DavidT]

The tail`s not long enough for a Wagtail I think.

I think it is too stocky for a wagtail. It's probably some migrant blown over the sea by a recent gale. Could not find it on the RSPB page either.

Oh could be a Flycatcher, but I thought it was bigger than a sparrow

It looks like a Pied Flycatcher.
