Following the huge success of the Niger seed feeder and the Goldfinches (my garden peak count was over 16) not bad for a Garden that had not counted that many in 10 years. Following the recent cold snap and snow, I now have a regular Siskin visiting the Niger seed. The Goldfinches are now eating at the other seed feeders and on the ground with the Chaffinches (they only ground feed in my garden.
Due to the huge amount of wastage of Niger seed under the feeder this area now attracts a Pied Wagtail, Robin, Dunnock, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Winter Wren and House Sparrows, so at the moment the garden is overflowing with feathered friends. I don't think they all eat the stuff but the crowd attacts in other species to have a look around I think. Still no Greenfinches, which remains a complete mystery to me.
Great garden birding
