Location: Snelsmore Feeder

Notes: Very few birds coming to the feeder, most feeding high in the trees and not coming down. When we take the nets down there is usually an influx of birds but not today. I watched for a while, but no visitors arrived. We did have time for a nice cup of coffee in the Snug though.
