What time of year..?

[HanDiiMaNz]

At which time in the year do, or would birds tend to feed more regularly? I am guessing winter beacuse of the shortage of various foods.

Absolutely right . Demand will pick up from early autumn, but winter is when it reaches its peak. The colder the winter, the greater the need.

And the later on in winter it is, the greater demand for supplementary seed sources As natural food sources (fruits/seeds etc.) dry up birds tend to move more to garden feeders.

Thought so. I have three feeders in my apple tree, the first one is filled with black sunflower, the other with a wild bird mix containing things such as cut maize, crushed nuts and seeds and the final feeder is a caged nut feeder. I have already had:

Blue tit
Great tit
Dunnock
Robin
Wood-pigeons (not on the feeder)
White doves (which feeds from my hands )
Tree sparrow
Sparrowhawk (not on the feeder)
Albino dove (not on the feeder)

I am supposing that in the cold winter months i will probably have different species and more frequent visits?

Indeed. With the right food, and depending on what's in your area, you could attract Blackbirds and other thrushes, warblers, Goldcrests, various finches and buntings, and/or woodpeckers.

Have you got water out?

The bird bath is within 10 ft away from the feeders.
