We were interested to see which birds would feed from a Sunflower Feeder mounted right next to our kitchen window.
For the experiment the window feeder was positioned just 10cm from the glass, so we were sure that many birds would be put off by the proximity of the house and us humans walking around inside peering at them!
To our amazement, a whole variety of birds visit the feeder, some even feed when we stand still right next to the window! So far we've had a Nuthatch (pictured), lots of Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, a Marsh Tit and a Robin visit.
It is interesting that sparrows are not on the list of visitors, so the sunflower hearts tend to last that bit longer now!
