    Finches just stare at the feeder

    I just checked the public woodland neighbouring the gated community. The area is frequented by many bird species. Also, cats don’t go that far away from their owners. However, we have falcons, sparrowhawks, buzzards and foxes. I’m considering to move some of my feeders to that public woodland.

    Finches just stare at the feeder

    We also had mild rain here, all day. For me, the exception were great tits, who went for whole sunflower seeds, peanuts and sunflower hearts.

    Finches just stare at the feeder

    Yes, I have 6 feeders in total. For feeding, I regularly see siskins feed on birch and alder trees and pine cones. They visit the same trees everyday, just before dusk. I rarely see house sparrows and chaffinches feed. Chaffinches just perch on the same trees everyday, making the characteristic...

    Finches just stare at the feeder

    I will post the images tomorrow, because it is night here. I have 4 feeders on the closest tree (5-7 m from the window), which is a pine. These all are exclusively visited by great tits and coal tits, sometimes a robin comes if I offer mealworms. The new feeders are around 10-12 m from the...

    Finches just stare at the feeder

    Hi! I recently posted another thread about my feeder attracting single species, the great tit (Parus major). Several days ago, I installed two new feeders for finch species, one has Nyjer seeds, the other has sunflower hearts. However, today I noticed that finch species (mostly chaffinch) just...

    Vagrant Black Woodpecker

    Several days ago, a female black woodpecker visited my campus. It is an unusual record for a 50 year old pine plantation surrounded by urban areas. The area was steppe and oak shrubland before the pine plantation.

    Feeder attracting single species

    Thank you all fot your suggestions. Yesterday, around dusk I had the opportunity to observe the feeders for some time from a camouflage hide. A robin visited the mealworms. Also, I saw that great tits scare away the coal tits most of the time. For suggestions about plant saucers, I think that...

    Feeder attracting single species

    Hello. I’m not new to birding but I’m really new to bird feeding. I set up several bird feeders with different foods. However, the only thing I get are at least 5 individuals of great tits (Parus major). We have many more species (finches etc…) in the area but they don’t visit the feeders. They...

    Hi from Turkey!

    Hello. I’m currently 22 years old and studying ecology. However, my interest for birding goes much deeper. I have been observing them since the age of 10. I first started with my backyard and now I expanded my observations all over the country. (And some other countries) Last year I also set up...
