| | | The secret to attacting birds...... ...................must be the Sunflower hearts 
For a number of years the only species that we had in our Garden were Sparrows, Starlings, Blackbirds and Doves. But just before last Christmas i put up a feeder with Sunflower hearts, although it took a few weeks for the birds to get used to it they did come slowly but surely. Now we have Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Blue Tits and Great Tits all using the feeder regularly and i'm filling it up once a day, but i think thats also down to the collered doves getting used to balancing on the tray
If you don't have a Sunflower Heart feeder........get one |

Once also had Siskins but not for some years now. |

| | | Re: The secret to attacting birds...... Sunflower hearts are a great attractant. This year they brought in my first bullfinches I've ever had in the garden. They came a few days ago and are seen pretty regular now.
