Bird feeders cleaned and loaded

The bird feeders have been waiting to be cleaned for quite a few weeks but we kept putting it off as there were more interesting things to do outside. However, with the imminent arrival of a delivery of nuts, seeds and suet balls I was spurred in to action, helped by the fact that the rain has returned so no gardening today. I am very fussy about getting the feeders clean for the beginning of the feeding season and we have a lot of them so it took me a while to complete the job. And it was a good job I decided to get on with it as the bird food arrived this afternoon! N was whisking them away as soon as I was finished with each one and already he has them hanging out, waiting for the birds to return from the woods around us and to spot the goodies.
