There exist many goldcrests in our forest, I just cant get them to a spot to shoot them. I am going to try mealworms and fat as I know seeds are not on their menu? Any secret recipies out there, if you care to share please? :biggrin:

Most birds like fat so that would be a good starter.They normally eat tiny insects so mealworms might be too big?

Yes, I think water will be the answer but it will freeze solid very soon. Grumble. I will try some water in the short term though. Thanks.
