Tried the mixed seeds . . . . all they did was eat the good stuff (sunflower seeds) and spit the rest onto the ground

We get the works ,Squirrels, Jackdaws, Magpies, Crows and Wood pigeons,eat everything before the little birds can get a feed

We even have a resident Pheasant

If the seeds run out and I don't refill soon enough a bird, usually a Coal T1t, lands on the window ledge and taps on the window "Oi! There's no bl00dy food out here!"

No Pheasants but we do get a very wise Woodpecker visiting the feeders. Why get a migraine head butting a tree when there's free food available.

I'll 2nd that. Keep a spare battery on a maintainer I got from Lidl years ago, same goes for the electric impact gun, had it for years with no problems.

I asked because I have a lidl charger.--

In your van, still, you say.--Does the van have fire insurance ?-

Smart chargers are, imho, not without problem be they from Lidl/Aldi or anywhere else if they have a digital display which is always illuminated while in use. I do have an Aldi one but I only tend to use it after the bulk of a charging is done via a traditional charger with an analog display.
