11/02 Bagnor Feeder

Location: Bagnor Feeder
Session: 11-Feb-2016 08:00 to 11:15hrs
Headlines: A proper winter’s day. Only irritation was the gate locks had to be thawed using hand warmth. Not sure what is happening at the Bagnor feeder as activity is very low with few birds visiting. The food is not being consumed at the same rate as the other feeders. Might just be the peculiar weather of this winter.
