    Was there something else someone suggested in previous years to make the birds appear? Was it about skimlinks? Do we turn them on or off?

    I am 10 pages in out of 43 pages and only getting prize draw entries, only one sweet today……maybe just too much effort?
    I am waiting for just one more sweet treat on everything.  Since reaching this point the only treats for me have all been prize draws.  Could this be intentional or maybe just coincidence?

    Ok so this year I am one away from all the prizes already. I ask myself is it worth racking up prize draw entries or should I quit now before I get grumpy and yell at the thread every time somebody posts a link to a page where they found a humming bird?
    It's the same for me and, since reaching this point, the only treats I have found have all been prize draw ones.  Could this be an intentional  'fix'?

    Today's  clue is Morrisons.

    I think they haven't got the code right this year so people are getting one away too quickly. Once you are one away getting the final prize sweet treat is a different algorithm and I presume those don't click in until nearer the end of the competition period. 
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Does that mean that it is an intentional 'fix'- maybe unfair or not transparent? Just wondering.

    I mean they set it up so you can get to one away fairly easily but then make it harder to get the final sweet.

    It's how these things always work just this time it was super easy to get to the one away stage.
