Mid afternoon noticed the fifth species
of tit in the garden, a Marsh tit and all at the same time on the
feeders. Coal, Blue, Great, now Marsh and Long Tailed Tit although the
latter were on the fat balls rather than the sunflower hearts. Noticed
it’s feeding habit slightly different to the blue coal and great who
tend to fly in take a seed and fly off whereas the marsh tended to stay
and pick a few seeds and then fly off with a beak full. Robins getting
aggressive in the garden towards each other, zooming around chasing each
other and two great spotted woodpeckers drumming nearby.
Squirrels are straightforward soul to attract and very difficult to rule out. squirrel proof bird feeder in the backyard are the ultimate example of this solution. You want it to melt effortlessly into the landscape, but it must be durable to accommodate various birds.
