We've at last bought a bird feeder plus seeds and hung it on the clothes post, near some roses. The birds have gone mad for it!
I've noticed it's all small birds and I'm not sure what they are. I recognise a few sparrows, but the majority are slim darting birds with a dark back and light breast. Any idea what they are?
There's also a very chubby wood pigeon which managed to knock the feeder down, he now feeds on the ground.
Very entertaining to watch.

Interesting replies - I saw a finch feeding this morning, possibly a chaffinch, but quite big so maybe a bullfinch.
It had a deep pink breast.

Sitting here tap-tapping, I heard a soft sound. There was a woodpigeon sitting on an armchair near me shock.
It must have flown in the open back door.
I managed to get it into the conservatory and left that outside door open, but it's still there.
Hoping it doesn't poop over the washing drying in there.
