Default Feeding the birds in this cold weather

With the weather turning nasty, I am thinking about the birds which don't
feed from the tray with the wheat based seed mix.

We have tried fat balls and peanuts in the past but they seem to be
ignored.

Also, the seed mix in the vertical tubes with the aperture near the bottom
with a small perch also seem to be ignored.

So what is the best way to encourage a wider range of birds to feed?

At the moment we get mainly wood pigeons, collared doves, blackbirds and
robins.

Blue tits are around but don't seem to come to the feeders.


Cheers

Dave R
