Three short visits were made in a week to the old Oakthorpe Colliery site (very close to my home), where there are two feeder areas at the edge of the car park. I take my car, and use it as a hide. The trick is to try and catch the birds 'looking natural' as they approach the feeders, rather than on the feeders. I am still trying to get the Jays and Great Spotted Woodpeckers on an approach run, but they are extremely nervous, and I have only seen them , over my shoulder, at the feeders when I am near to the other set, about 30 metres away.
