It works for us, I must say. We have feeders in the garden and

several in
the greenhouses and both are alive with birds. We have wrens,

blackbirds,
blue tits, chaffinches and sparrows nesting in the greenhouses and

all those
plus thrushes in the garden. They feed on the peanuts in winter and

adults
will take them now, too but we often see them with their beaks

stuffed with
'wrigglers' to take to their babies.


Do you still have the blue tits now that they are needed to cope with
the insect pests?
Mine have gone to their summer quarters.

I don't know what you mean by summer quarters but yes, the blue tits are
still here and the Little Owls are back, while the rooks are taking their
annual holiday.
