Parabuteos lad 878 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Is it a songbird feeding station and he’s visited to hunt or is it a specific raptor feeding station? If so very interested in hearing how you went about it. I’ve always been interested in building a raised natural looking drinking hole to photograph birds visiting to drink 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve always been interested in building a raised natural looking drinking hole to photograph birds visiting to drink A friend of mine has a raptor feeding station he,s a game dealer/BBQ bloke and he just throws all the off cuts on it, took him quite a few months before the proper birds came in but now he has regular raptors visiting it including a couple of Ravens early doors it was full of magpies crows and other scavengers, if your after raptors a drinking hole won't help as they get there fluids from the prey but song birds will flock to a water source especially in summer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
