Dunnock. They are canny little birds.
I always have feeders up no matter what time of year. If you dont have a fat ball feeder it is worth getting one. The fatballs at the moment in poundstretcher are 49p for 6 and home bargains are about the same. They are a really good energy food for the birds at this time of the year. And dont forget a water supply for them, if you cant afford a bird bath an old plant pot saucer or even dinner plate is good, as long as it is not too deep and you put clean water in a daily basis.

I have every type of feeder, peanuts, nyger, sunflower hearts, fat balls, suet block and water bowl, and table bit. Then the robin comes to that little slab, and all the shy ones hide down there. I am going to build my perfect bird table this weekend, I can't find any I like atm.
Have had the feeders out since February, but it took the birds 9weeks to even get sparrows. I was starting to lose hope. Now I'm in heaven. The past week I've had coal tits, chaffinches, goldfinches and now the dunnock that are new. I'm so so happy.

Keep it going! It was my parents starting to feed the birds in their garden when I was about 10 or 11 that started me off.
It's great the variety of birds you can get in your garden by persisting with feeding them
And you'll find that the range of species can be quite different each season.
