I am looking for a good quality source of bird seed on line, in
particular for finches, as my local shops do not seem to stock that.

Having tried and failed to find a local farm feed supplier, I use Ark
Wildlife - http://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/ - who are significantly
cheaper than the RSPB (as is anyone) and, IIRC, about 2/3 of the price
of CJ.

I now put out just peanuts and kibbled sunflower hearts. In winter I
mix ground peanuts with the sunflowers. I get a good, greedy variety
of visitors (including lots of finches).

Nyger seed here was always untouched and the so-called "no-mess" feed
mixes are anything but...! Fat balls simply attracted more magpies who
would fight over each ball with the losers then venting their spleen
by killing a finch or a tit.
