I have not seen any Blue Tits in the garden so far this week, though the 4
Great Tits are still using the feeders. In some 20 years of keeping records for
Garden Bird Watch this is quite exceptional. Presumably, the recent unseasonably
warm weather has brought forward an abundant woodland food source that has
demoted peanuts to second best.
(Len Kersley sent this to me on 6th, while I was away. I wonder if the current change in the weather has resulted in those birds returning.)
