    Any point putting out niger seed?

    I've put some sunflower seeds out since you said that but I'm still waiting for anything to show some interest. The starlings haven't even thrown them out! I'm suppose they will soon. The miseable weather hasn't helped :)

    Any point putting out niger seed?

    Well if I do try a feeder I think I'll be colouring it yellow if it's not already, it's not hard to see why it might make a difference!

    Any point putting out niger seed?

    Blue tit nest box and last year's sad ending

    Thanks Kits! Sorry about the thing about the other birds, I just meant how sometimes a baby doesn't make it in another nest, and the parents removed it and drop it somewhere else, which is sometimes in your garden. We thought they had probably gone too early, but it just depends how unusual it...

    Blue tit nest box and last year's sad ending

    Hi everyone, not really a happy thing to join the forum with but I wondered if I could ask for some thoughts? Last year we had blue tits in our nest box. Watched them grow up on a camera inside, watched all three survivors fledge early one morning. But they didn't seem to fledge very well and...
