I can be quite fussy about apples and like them with a really sharp tang, so when I bought some apples a couple of weeks ago that I didn't like they just sat in my refrigerator while I tried to think of some way of using them. Then I realised the other day that the birds might like them. While mooching in Marks and Spencers I came upon a rather pretty bird apple feeder. At £5 it seemed like a lot of money for a bit of metal but it does look lovely dangling from the bird feeding station and the birds are pecking at them. I'm not sure if they like the apples any more than I did though.

Amazingly, the birds leave my raspberries alone and someone said that that is because I feed them so well on other things they like.
Below we can see Blue Tits, what I am fairly sure is a Bullfinch, and sitting at the top is a little brown bird that I cannot quite identify; a baby thrush maybe?
