MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Nice shot for next year's Xmas card You need to get the lens as close as possible to the window glass to cut out reflections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant tip thankyou, I'll remember that! They are still a bit spooky at the mo, as its only been out there a few days, but Robins do tend to be braver than most garden birds dont they?... so I will keep trying Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Put it into a bowl in the fridge to set, and the fat will be ontop, nice and hard so you can scrape it off... Underneath will be the jellyish bit. My dogs get that. I think lamb fat might be a bit too soft - but you could give it a go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
