Have had a variety of garden feeders out for years and nver really see anything spectacular.
Of late, Im spending a fortune to feed:
Pigeons
Squirrels
Rooks
The little Robin and Dunnock are allowed to have what they leave and the Blackies scrounge around.
I have a squirrel proof feeder with RSPB Feeder mix , broken up fatballs.
I have a ground cage that stops the bigger birds getting to the food but doesnt stop the squirrells, and I feed RSPB tale mix here.
I also sprinkle handfulls around under bushes and in different spots, but I swear the Pigeons take notes....
We have a large ish hedgerow to the back of us so are reasonably secluded, but I see harldy any sparrows at all, very very occasional Goldie and thats about it.
Also have a wildlife pond so drinking and bathing opportunities are here.
Any help or advice appreciated to get more birds and a wider variety into the garden.....
