BEST BUYS

Birds, especially blackbirds, love eating fruit and this apple holder, designed by Sophie Conran, can be hung in a tree or from a bird feeding station. Just push an apple on to the spike or perhaps a plum, pear or half an orange. It’s made from galvanised steel with a tough powder coating in a soft buttermilk shade. There’s a leather hanging cord to attach it. Costs 6.99 from www.burgonandball.com
