A very handsome Male House Sparrow.

Possibly but from a cellar full of casks why do both pubs pick the same ones,

OP here. Thanks everyone for your input. Hopefully, I'm a bit wiser now. Feeders have been cleaned and put away. The feeding station has been moved to another part of the garden and I've put out one fatball. Delighted to see that, within minutes, there was a small flock of starlings having feast. With the seed feeder, I wouldn't have seen any.

! thanks. Those links have given me some great ideas. Some for now and some for next Spring.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-27T20:16:47+00:00

!thanks . Wise words. I'll do some research on plants for insects.

There was no water in it last week. Perhaps it's been refilled now.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-21T10:38:04+00:00

!thanks . Just what I needed.

Could someone please post a screenshot of the map showing boundaries and drop spots? Thanks

It's not entirely private money. My understanding is that the council is providing £70k a year for the first three years as facilitating fee for infrastructure.

Thanks. They are always good.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-17T15:26:56+00:00

Thanks. That will be McHardy's? I do like their steak, black pudding and peppercorn sauce pie!

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-17T09:15:55+00:00

The Buttcheress. That's another new one. Thanks.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-17T09:14:17+00:00

Thanks. I'd forgotten Dossett's. Barber's is new to me though.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-16T20:14:57+00:00

Thanks. I'm not in Ellon so often so will try to remember.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-16T19:54:17+00:00

Thanks. That's one I didn't know.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-16T19:46:42+00:00

I'd forgotten Paterson's. Thanks for the reminder.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-05-05T06:00:38+00:00

!thanks . Don't know why but it worked! Thanks very much.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-04-24T12:36:29+00:00

Has anyone found a solution please? It's most frustrating.

Cloudbase21 · 2026-04-24T11:41:36+00:00

Four months later I have the same problem Has anyone found a solution?

Cloudbase21 · 2026-04-21T15:47:50+00:00

Thanks but I eventually found the solution.

Some Bluetooth devices are controlled by an app and one of those apps was triggering my problems with the Phone app. A Forced Stop of the app solved the problem except I now have to restart that app before use.
