Congratulations to Wirral Bird Keepers who smashed the record for the building the world's biggest bird feeder. Members of the club achieved the feat on the August Bank Holiday weekend, raising more than £470 for Holylake Cottage in the process.
Sadly, the record-breaking attempt was made all that much harder by vandals who, on the eve of the attempt, cut the ropes holding the feeder up. But the resultant publicity, by various news organisations, including local press and radio stations, was a blessing in disguise, according to club secretary Brian Gregory.
Despite the setback, the feeder was resurrected and eventually weighed in at 410kg, smashing the previous record by 313kg! You can read the full story in this week's issue, dated September 10.
