fireman 10,915 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 If you can find a bit of elder covered in blackfly they will love that more ,but Hawthorn is fine for them Dave,A bit of conifer will give a bit of green colour to the flight and it don't die to quickly,also don't be worried if they start to chew on it as your'll find they will do that with all branches you put in there.
