Customers of my feeding station - more pictures added

I love the fluffed up little blue tit as well. My birds are now eating like horses but only when I'm at work! Hopefully the voles will be back but if they have been snaffled by a fox......... well everything has to eat and foxes are real opportunists.
 
Hi, not to many species coming to my feeder, I am not sure is it weather or something else, still loads of insects around so they still have enough food. But Tits are always there ;)

The change to the Sigma seems to have made a great improvement to the quality of the images :)
 
Thank you Stuart and Russ :) and you are right, I am very pleased with my feeding station. Now I am moving more into the woods and hoping to attract Buzzards and Foxes. Fingers crossed one day I will catch them :)

Hi Maryla

Yet more superb visitors, much more of this and I will turn green with envy ;)

I especially like the GSW, your tree trunk/old wood post is a nice prop but do tell what food have you pasted on it that the bird is feeding on?
 
Hi Brownie and thank you :)
I fill the feeders with nuts and a special mix for little birds which I bought at Haskins (Coal Tits love them) Also they have some sunflower seeds and last two weeks I put some mix of grains for chickens and geese - it is cheaper than mix from Haskins ;)
I made a few holes in the stump and I fill them with lard mixed with grains and mealworms - GSW, Great and Blue Tits absolutely love it :)

You seem to be doing well with your bird station Maryla, a nice variety of visitors and even a bank vole, great work.
 
Hi, I've been busy with "my" birds and some rats :p A bit more time now so I can show some more pictures of my friends ;)

65. Robin - I know some of you don't like pictures of them but I really like this one :)
