Blackbirds seem to be very enthusiastic about sultanas and raisins.
Robins like to feed from the ground - grated cheese might tempt them.

I'll try those, thanks. No danger to chicks from sultanas etc. being shoved
down their throats?!

Oh goodness, I don't know! Just how much nannying of birds can one do? I
suppose sultanas aren't too different physically from other things that
might be offered to nestlings (fat grubs for example) whereas peanuts
are much harder than anything else the birds are likely to take at this
time of year. I'm sure there's holes in that argument. Where's Malcolm
when we need him?
