Please note:
The early listings were only a few observations with an entry and usually no record of numbers!
They had been taken directly from our 'birders notebook'
Where there are further details from the book we keep at the house, they will be added later.

Do you recommend putting out nesting material near the feeder at this time of year? If so what. I have no hairy animals in the house. Amelia
It isn't vital, but they do take advantage of the cat hair when it is out....
that column also contains mine!!
The RSPB sell sheeps wool bundles and a special holder...
which looks strangely like their 3-ball fat ball holder!
I brush our two mogs regularly at both the moulting seasons...
I had a house in Scotland for a while and used to clean the barbed-wire fences of sheep and shaggy highland cattle hair....
I tried some of our hemp wool insulation...but it was ignored in favour of the cat hair...
but without animals, I would suggest asking at the nearest "poodle parlour"...There must be one near you...the French have made pampering their pets almost a religion!! Feathers are also a good bet... the small birds are in and out of the chickens' coop all day!
hope that helps.
