Beautiful capture. I too like the pop of red in the feeder - what is it? Very atmospheric. Autumn makes me sad after the beautiful summer with maximum sunshine and the long hours.
@lesip The round bit is a suet ball holder. I cannot put anything in it, as the birds go on the ground to pick up the leftovers. Minky is waiting there for them ;-)
@jgpittenger Thanks Jane, I spoke to the Chairman of our local bird club who is a friend and lives on our estate. He says it is not the food colour itself, but the combination with sugar causes mould which is bad. My bottle gets taken down daily and cleaned well with boiling water and soap to avoid that, I use very little sugar too.
