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. Franz 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. I think the blue, great and coal tits disperse into the woods in the vicinity during the summer season.. They really only overwinter in and around our garden. The sparrows, chaffinches, goldfinches and greenfinches are here the year round. {That is, if we continue feeding them. Pure cupboard love. {:-(( Franz |
