Gwyllt Hollow - Top Copse Feeding Platform
I built this feeding platform out of an old foraged old table and materials from the surrounding woodlands. I added a few feeders as well. The platform is positioned in a small of woodland copse, above my house. Behind, is the nature reserve and a meadow that is full of wild flowers in the Spring and Summer. Watch out for marsh / willow tits. They look a bit like a coal tit but without the white strip on back of the head. The 2 species are very difficult to tell apart, but I'm pretty sure I have both!
I hope that the open nature of this feeding station will mean that many different birds will visit here. These initial set-ups are pretty experimental , as I will need to get to know my new plot and how the wildlife moves around in it.
Let me know if you see anything that is not on the list. If you see a different species, then if you can, please note the time. I can then check back on the recorded footage. You can contact me HERE
