I've been reading through this thread seeing all the different birds and other wildlife visiting your feeders. When we moved into our current house just over 2 years ago, I was hopeful I'd get a wide variety of birds as there is a small wooded area outside the front. I bought lots of different types of feeders and seeds, nuts and fat balls.
Sparrows - that's what we get!! No other birds but a small army of the noisy naughty little fellas!
But the best bit, is Mr Jingles the mouse. He was very tiny when I first spotted him and once he realised how much food there was, he turned up with a mate, even smaller. They will sit on the bird table all evening stuffing themselves until there's almost nothing left.
I saw Mr Jingles for the first time for a few months the other day and he is enormously fat! So all that good living suits him, obviously.
We've also started having a sparrow hawk visit lately. I've never seen one so close. He sits on the top of the bird table for ages peering into the hedge but so far, I haven't seen him catch any of the sparrows. Beautiful bird to see.
Mr Jingles has some cashews tonight, spoiled boy.
