Feed the birds

The unusually mild autumn has led us not to put out our bird feeders until these last few days. But even now a feeder full of sunflower seeds is lasting a few days instead of a few hours in midwinter.
The usual flocks of blue and great tits are still sparse, but we were rewarded with a small group of finches, chaffinches, siskins and unusually a hawfinch. Surprisingly few green finches, but whatever you expect some seeds and nuts, plus water supplies will all be welcome by the wild birdlife.
