Due to a lack of sunlight I have been powering the bird feeder with a 240V extension which I bring in under cover each night.
Decided it’s time once again to power the feeder with the solar panel setup.

Bluey afternoon visit
[wpvideo KDNYGceu W=350]
Still visiting Meadowbrook Mansion, very punctual morning and afternoon.
Interesting that his colour has changed to a misty blue!
Bluey regular visiting routine
Bluey has settled into a regular visiting routine-
One morning and one afternoon visit. He does well to hold his own against all the competition but regardless of that ET has instructed me to stand on guard… while he eats and drinks (Crikey).

Bluey training session
Anticipating his afternoon visit I moved the stand feeder down onto the driveway close to the balcony feeders. As posted a few weeks ago I made a 2 bowl platform feeder that’s positioned below the balcony window.
Hanging from that is the traditional hanging feeder. The latter has not been used in the front yard since the Xmas tree was removed (no branches).
He’s here… I’ve been lying in wait for him, hiding but not to attack.
Bluey checking in…
I am planning to make him a shelter box which hopefully will become a nesting box.
Bluey is still with us!
ET is delighted that Bluey is still around-
He flies in morning and afternoon and after perching on the overhead NBN cable, directly above the bird feeder, announces his presence with loud chirping. It’s my job to go down and add seed to the empty tray – a bit of a PIA. I’m working on a Bluey auto feeder. more to come.
Window feeder for Bluey – Part 2
Prepping to mount the feeder below the balcony window.
The weatherboards are of course angled so we need a couple of top spacer blocks.

He’s quite capable of holding his ground against larger birds in particular Galahs which lately seem to be increasing in numbers.
