Just inform site members that visit the Hide that there is no food inside to feed the birds. We are now in our 5th year and after countless posts on Facebook and by word of mouth asking for help with food, the response is Zero, so we are not going to fund it anymore. It will be to observe Wildlife but site members who visit and want to use it to Photograph the 35 Bird Species and Fox, Brown Hare, and Roe deer will have to take their own food down to fill the feeders up.
Sorry it has to be like this but at £50 per month over a minimum of 6 months it comes to £300 over 5 years £1500. For other site members to enjoy.
The Nuts and 2 bags of seed that i received at the beginning of the year were for the Nest Boxes and bird feeders i had made as a payment.
We have worked hard from March Planting New Shrubs Teasel and Thistle all to make it a great place to go and sit in Peace and take in all the wonderful wildlife. Anne form the Bellamy Award Scheme has told me there is no other site like this one with 2 Wildlife Hides Free for site members to use.
