Thanks Ann & Dave Goldfinches have been scarce in our garden but they seem to have discovered the new seed feeder.

I agree with Jane they are such lovely little birds. Eric I hope they keep visiting now they have found your new feeders,they seem to be keen on the black sunflower seeds and sunflower hearts.

Thanks Jane, Jan and Ann. I just use a general seed mix, there may be a few sunflower seeds among it. There is a little spillage as they peck in the tray but other birds, mainly chaffinches and collar doves pick them up from the grass below.![]() |

Thanks Jen, I am surprised how this new feeder has attracted more birds than with the old one which had disintegrated. The old one had little holes from which to take the seed, this has a circular tray at the bottom. |
