FAT BALLS

You will need

  • 2 Blocks of lard
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Sunflower Hearts
  • Dried Mealworms

Cut the lard into pieces and soften. When it is soft enough to mix, add the other ingredients and mix well. Divide the mix into 6 portions and roll into balls. Either place in a fat ball feeder or whilst still soft, push some string through the balls using a large needle and tie off at the bottom. Put the balls in the fridge to harden up and then hang out in the garden. These are a particular favourite of the tit family.
