The garden birds have just gone mad!

I've just fulled up the sunflower heart feeder in the garden and put some of Bill Oddies "Song Bird Crumble" on the table and the moment I stepped in the house down they came! I've never seen such a sudden frenzy, there were birds on every perch and the peanut feeder crammed with jostling Blue Tits.

Blue Tits (including the juvenilles that are hanging around and now feeding themselves quite happily), Greenfinch, Nuthatch, Bullfinch (one pair as usual), House Sparrow (went straight for the "Song Bird Crumble"), Starling (also went to the "Song Bird Crumble"... 2 birds, one a juvenille being fed by it's parent) and even Chaffinch (we don't get many).

The rewards for spending a few quid on sunflower hearts cannot be measured.
