Had a good look at the videos and really like them keep posting there good videos!
Still tons of American Goldfinches and other birds in our yards. Haven't had time for any birdwatching at work but I did snap an Eastern Meadowlark on the way from my office to the parking lot.

Indeed, just forgot to list them! I wonder what the list of finches in UK gardens is? I saw some photos of linnet on nyger seed recently. Then there's redpoll. And of course reed bunting. Yellowhammer too. Plus rarities? I know of people down here who's gardens are visited by cirl bunting. But what else?

I've only just realised that the Dutch webcam site that runs through the summer has some winter feeder cams- http://www.vogelbescherming.nl/nl/tuinvogel/beleef_de_winter/achtergrond/q/cam/3
On the right of the screen are some playback clips, some excellent sparrowhawk ones.

As i write this i'm watching the starlings on the fat ball's, along with eating a apple i put out. And now there is the sparrows eating the seeds and fighting for the apple. And there gone! Will spend a bit watching them now lets see what else turns up.

Good find. Really busy feeders there.
Hello everybody! Goodness it seems ages since I dropped by this thread! I havn't really been all that well, and I have just not been able to face the forum, plus I have started a photographic project for the year also.
Still been keeping up with the feeders though, not much new, apart from Bullfinches, between 2-4 birds had a little spell of visiting. Still no sign of my Willow Tits, which seems rather odd. But all the regular visitors in good numbers, which are not lining up patiently for the feeders:-O
My pesky squirrel has also been at it again, it has literally managed to unscrew a feeding port! Leaving the bottom of the feeder on the floor! The cheeky little ******. So hope everyone is ok, will try and pop by more often, now I'm feeling a little better. B

Rained all day but the birds kept coming. Blue,Coal, and Great Tits. Robin, Blackbirds, Goldfinches and Starlings plus the Woods. A first visit of a Grey Squirrel to the feeders I have witnessed this year also.:t::t:

Miserable looking day here too weather wise, especially after a nice Spring day like yesterday. Strong winds and light rain meant everything being alot quieter. But most regulars was spotted:
Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Brambling, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Dunncok, Robin, Blackbird, Starling, Magpie, Woodpidgeon, Starling, Collard Dove
Plenty of Gulls, Rooks, Carrion Crows flying around the neighbourhood as well as the Pied Wagtail,whom I am still waiting to make his return back inside the garden!

Only started feeding hearts about 2 weeks ego. And well they go mad for them every bird that has visited the garden has ego at them..Better than the wild mixed seed mix. Had not that many from only what i saw.

Sunflower Hearts are the key IMO for attracting a wide range of birds. Just about all garden birds will eat them. If you've got the hearts thats good enough, if you add a couple of different foods for variety also, you got the best chances of attracting the widest range of bird. Just have to wait then until they are in the area

I have got out at the moment hearts, wild mixed, peanuts and fat balls along with a tray and water....The thing is for example i have never seen chaffinches in my area but do you think they could still come to my feeders one day?
