@quietpurplehaze no Hazel, Phil bought some from a local hardware shop, but has since bought some online. The birds ignored it at first, something different I guess, but word soon got round & lots of them feed from it.
Well I never, what a great way to feed the birds! I have a neighbour who nails fruit on his trees for the birds, but never knew of a sausage for them ;-)
Interesting, thank you - made a great shot!
