I was intrigued by the title of this thread because I do not believe it is ever easy and my failures way outnumber my successes. However setting up a feeder is a good way to get shots you could not otherwise get. Will be interested to see your results Bernie.

This one of male and female regent bower birds was taken using a feeder.

I have some small honey eaters that come into the garden and they are very quick....... lots of other birds, so I will only do a small feeder to slow some of them down as I am shooting available light.......

Seems like a good idea to attract the birds to where you are rather than running around hoping to find a bird. I know when I go spearfishing, we attract the fish to us by using berley :) Shame it can also attract other larger critters :(
