Re: ID Please!

You can do something about attracting them by using various feeders around the garden. I find that Sunflower Hearts and Fat balls are the main attractors but I use about 8 different foods to get them into my garden in numbers.

You should have plenty of cover nearby, allowing them an escape route if under threat, plus you could create a wildlife garden where insects etc can flourish.

Birds are not going to visit a wildlife wilderness so we have to do something that makes it worthwhile coming into our gardens.
