In the week since the last post there has been minimal activity in the garden, just a couple of visits by a single blue tit or robin. Things are looking up this morning though. The garden is still pretty quiet but in a couple of minutes watching after breakfast there were a pair of blue tits squabbling over the feeders. A robin also paid a visit and a goldfinch perched for a minute at the bottom of the garden but didn't come to the feeder. There were then several visits by a coal tit who took each sunflower seed away to a tree at the other side of the garden next door to eat it.
While tits will normally eat fat based products while perched on the feeder they seldom eat sunflower seeds in situ. When they are around in numbers they seldom go beyond the nearest bush to the feeder but singletons tend to go further away.
