A GARDEN BIRD FEEDING NO-NO
I was appalled to see a photograph, under the title “To do this week”, of a blue tit on a fat ball feeder containing four fat balls, each still wrapped in green plastic netting (News, 14 October).
To leave this netting on fat balls for birds is a big no-no because it can get tangled round their feet, taken away by the birds when empty and does not biodegrade.
It is without doubt good to feed our wild birds during these colder months but only in a responsible way.
