    Blackbirds and cats

    Also prickly hedging type plants like Berberis and Pyracantha, somewhere the birds can hide and the cats will be deterred from.

    Mason Bee/solitary bee nesting kit

    This sounds good! The bees I have used to go into holes in the brickwork on the side of my house, so thought the tubes would be similar. I can’t wait to see if I get any cocoons!

    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.
