    Affordable (squirrel and big bird proof) bird feeders... Any recommendations?

    Another I can recommend is the clingers only feeder, it's great for the likes of goldfinches, sparrows and the tit family but is only squirrel proof if hung where squirrels can't reach it.

    I have only seen a few Dolphins off the coast at Swanage in the last few years, a pod of Orcas would be nice.

    Don't know if I'm honest. In all my years of fishing I have never actually seen a Ruffe. My money is still on Chub & Perch but my Paddy Power account has never been in credit :wallbanging:

    Thanks @strongylodon . I've already removed a little blanket weed that had hitched a ride on the water hawthorn. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it. :blue thumb:
