My old table was a pretty sad looking thing so it was nice to hang this much improved dining area out for my feathered friends.

I added some softbill ( Prosecto Insectivorous) food and within minutes of putting the feeder up it was being visited by Blue Tits. Great Tits, Robins and Starlings. The Pigeons found it challenging and the Magpies found it interesting.
The table is really well made using solid timber and the rustic rope adds to it's appeal. The Food stays dry in the rain and I think it'll stand the test of time too as it appears well preserved. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for one so much so that I'll probably buy another for the bottom of the garden.

It’s always great to hear about updates that enhance the backyard experience for both people and wildlife! Your new bird table sounds like a wonderful addition, especially with how quickly the local birds have taken to it. Blue Tits, Great Tits, Robins, and even the curious Starlings must make for quite the lively scene. It’s also interesting that the Pigeons and Magpies are trying to figure it out – bird tables definitely create a bit of a social hub with all their visitors. The rustic rope and solid timber construction sound not only sturdy but visually appealing, too. There’s something special about watching birds feed and interact, especially when you know they’re protected from the elements with a well-designed table. Thanks for sharing your experience; it’s always encouraging to hear how much joy a good-quality bird table can bring to a garden.
