It consists of a hollowed out log, solid at the bottom, with a lid. In the sides are 6 large holes into which suet, fat, peanuts etc can be 'stuffed'. The inside of the feeder can be filled with peanuts.
The image produced can be as below:
With cropping of the edges where the hanging string is showing this can then be portrayed as a natural log with the bird feeding.
Ideal for the photographer.
However this is far from ideal as a feeder. The size of the holes is such that suet balls have to be demolished in order to fit. Without the suet any nuts within the cavity simply fall out too easy whilst being carried!! In addition it is very inefficient in terms of quantity of food being available compared to my wire feeders. (below).
If the purpose of a feeder is literally to feed as many birds as possible the wire feeder wins hands down. It is also more durable than the log feeder which if left out for months in inclement weather will probably fall apart and rot. ( In a few weeks the string has already broken!!)
The log feeder will be kept safely for the purpose of photography alone.
