It works for us, I must say. We have feeders in the garden and
several in
the greenhouses and both are alive with birds. We have wrens,
blackbirds,
blue tits, chaffinches and sparrows nesting in the greenhouses
and
all those
plus thrushes in the garden. They feed on the peanuts in winter
and
adults
will take them now, too but we often see them with their beaks
stuffed with
'wrigglers' to take to their babies.

Do you still have the blue tits now that they are needed to cope
with
the insect pests?
Mine have gone to their summer quarters.

I don't know what you mean by summer quarters but yes, the blue tits
are
still here and the Little Owls are back, while the rooks are taking
their
annual holiday.

I think the blue, great and coal tits disperse into the woods in the
vicinity during the summer season.. They really only overwinter in
and around our garden. The sparrows, chaffinches, goldfinches and
greenfinches are here the year round.
{That is, if we continue feeding them. Pure cupboard love. {:-((
