This is being stripped bare by the birds especially by the tits. I don't mind but what is it?

Thanks.

It's Lilac. I can see some seeds from this years' flowers, but tits are more likely to be interested in insects than seeds. I find Lilac is generally insect-unfriendly so it would be interesting to know what they are finding.
