Starlings and their young can’t get enough of the half coconut with fat and seeds, whereas the seed feeder and table seems to be pretty popular with the blue & great tits, sparrows and big Geoff the pigeon. ETA: Will need to take pics. Edited July 6, 2020 by 8MileBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard one in George Square/Meadows walking home back in February. Maybe the same one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours seem to attract every starling in Falkirk and a wee gang of sparrows and big Geoff the pigeon usually turns up on his tod and eats all the scraps from the flower bed below. Just crappy phone pics of the starlings just now. Edited July 13, 2020 by 8MileBU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the whole watching them time very relaxing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sat for hours at a time with the wee lass spotting what birds arrive in the garden and looking up some of the ones we’ve been unsure of in her bird book. It’s been fun spotting and identifying the variety of birds we’ve had. Surprisingly far more types than we’d have expected. There’s a female blackbird that visits pretty often. Fucking noisy wee thing! Some chanter. ETA: What’s el gato? Edited July 13, 2020 by 8MileBU 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Can anyone recommend a decent online printer for bog standard snaps, no corrections needed? My nieces are breeding like rabbits and I get sent a constant stream of whatsapp pics, mostly from their Mums tbf, to show their grandma, who doesn't do phones. So when I eventually get round to showing them to her it's an impatient swipe swipe swipe and they're gone, which I feel a bit guilty about. I'm after ease of uploading, reasonable quality and price, and preferably quick delivery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they actually printed on canvas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going buy the canvas I got i doubt there will be an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth googling free prints as I've seen a few companies offer 'x' amount of free prints, you just have to pay the postage. Never used them so cant comment on the quality or whether there are any hidden fees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
