Thats the job Mick Thats what i was thinking of, i have taken a few pheasant spring type feeders down to the pond and wanted to know it could be done. Have tried the auto feeder with poor result, not an expensive one and water got into the electrics and knacked the job.
Laziness on my part really, means i will only potter down a couple of times a week to scatter a bit of feed and see all is well
