Awwwww....poor slugs! They're my night time entertainment, as, even though the window beside me is 15ft up, they seem to manage the climb & then proceed to slime their way around the windows. With them & the moths at night, a great variety of birds in the day, not forgetting the red squirrel that goes in the hazelnut tree & all around the poplars, I really should cut the plug off the tv.

I agree with Perpatua it takes a long time for them to find you but once they do they become regular visitors most of ours are starlings, blackbirds, sparrows and of course the greedy pigeons who hoover up any spillages from the feeders. Occasionally we get different visitors we've had a variety of tits, robins, doves and this year we have some lovely waxwings altho the waxwings are here for the rose hip and not the seeds. Just make sure your feeders are away from walls/posts and things cats could easily climb as if they don't feel safe your less likely to get visitors also as Perps said if the weather is mild it will take them longer to find you so maybe wait until the weather with you is a little colder. If you can hang them from your washing lines or a rope tied between 2 points seems to make them feel secure. A couple of pictures taken yesterday this tree is usually full daily as is the wild rose bush but it took us a while to attract them. wow just had a proper look at your pics you are certainly blessed, having that for a view, not jealous one little bit

They seem to like the sun flower hearts round here and good quality fat balls, not super market ones. Tried various things over the years but that seems to be the favourites.
Had a few greater wood peckers at them and a red squirrel or two as well lol

I thought we only had a woodpecker till I looked closer, turns out there's at least three of them, small differences in sizes etc. Got three cats too, hasn't affected the population at all really. Only one hunts but he tends to just bring it in the house and let it go lol. Then I have to go catch it and release. Mice and birds. I'm becoming quite adept at it
