We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

Nature is well and truly up the metaphorical creek. Due to a combination of agricultural monocultures and pesticide use, flying insect numbers have declined by a catastrophic amount. This is having knock-on effects on all sorts of wildlife, including birds. With nothing to eat, they’re dying out. Farmland birds in Britain have declined by over 50% since 1970, and the decline is even more pronounced in countries with bigger farms, such as Germany and France.
We can do something about it though. John Beardon has produced a hanging bird feeder that combines our love of nature and alcohol, being built as it is around a screw-cap wine bottle. He’s even made a bespoke funnel for filling the bottle with nuts and seeds.
