to have animal cruelty finally banned in Ireland. Yet another Green Party promise reneged on.

My two mesh peanut peanut feeders had long been plagued by jackdaws who had no problem clinging to them and emptying them faster than I could keep them filled. I have no problem with them having a bit of a feed too, but once they show up the smaller birds move off.

In a bid to oust them I moved the feeders to a less accessible spot and replaced them with a seed feeder and round type peanut feeder. Success! Well partial success. The jackdaws are still getting to the old feeders (though not as much) but the small birds have taken to new set-up with glee.

Within minutes of putting them up they attracted blue tits and great tits. Now, 3 days later, I spotted 7 siskins and a pair of goldfinches joining forces with my usual sparrows and chaffinches to use them.

The extra colour and song in the garden is brilliant.

My Redwings are gone .

While they were offered the finest cuisine, and a balmy climate. They have taken to poorer climes.

So much for Darwin and evolution.

Northsiders!

Any ideas on how to stop birds crashing into windows?

A Robin Redbreast just smacked into our patio window and is stunned (but moving) outside. This happens too often for my liking and patio windows are the main problem.

I think there are some objects that can be hung or stuck on windows to alert birds but I have no idea where to source them.

Hi Ed, you might like some of what the RSPB have here.

The greeenfinches are back. Three of them popped in and sampled the niger, sunflower hearts and the peanuts. Hopefully they're restaurant critics from The Avian Times

Thanks. They look good.

Happened to me too. I think sometimes they respond to their reflection.
