So, I got a new bird feeder! Its from the RSPB and its for small birds.
I was finding the Jackdaws and Rooks were dominating the feeders, leaving the House Sparrows with nothing.
Good thing about this feeder is, if a larger bird, squirrel, rat or mouse tries to get at it, its weighted and so the feeding ports will close.
So far my House Sparrows haven't worked out the new feeder yet. Its been up around 4 and a half hrs.
However!
New visitors have worked it out right away! I now have a stunning Goldfinch visiting!
