I've recently started feeding them Nyger seeds which apparently are a

even Chaffinches are rare this year



You're behind the times ;-)

According to the BTO, where both are available, goldfinches (the main
nyger feeders) prefer kibbled sunflower hearts to nyger.


Funny you should say that because I was going on the advice of an RSPB
warden.

I shall wait and see.
