Well, I can't remember the last time I saw any bird in my garden
apart from pigeons.

Try changing the feed mix Baz that might help

It might be a case of "try feeding the birds, Baz" :-)

Which comes first the birds or the bird food?

:-) When we moved here ten years ago this month, the garden had no
bird feeders and hardly any bird cover; plenty of crows gulls and
buzzards but hardly any smaller birds were seen or heard.

Breakfasting on or below our bird tables this morning were house and
hedge sparrows, blue, coal and great tits, chaffinches, greenfinches,
robins, blackbirds, collar doves, a wood pigeon and pheasants. At the
moment I'm putting out a seed mix, wheat, fatballs and peanuts. I'll be
adding niger seed to the menu later, for the goldfinches.

Janet, Arran.

Have you tried packing Teasel heads with a mix of dripping, or suet and
Niger seeds?
