Stithians Feeder Hide Notice: As is our usual custom, we will not be putting food out into the feeders from now until the autumn. However, if anyone wishes to bring food of their own in order to attract birds to the area, either just to watch or to take photographs, they are welcome to do so. John St Ledger (warden)
