Hi Bob

Fat Balls or those suet squares.
The Starlings like them also so they do not last long.

Nice shot Trevor.

I tried this in my garden a while ago, but the Starlings never gave anything else a chance lol

Lovely to see the Coal Tit, they move so quickly it's not easy to capture them. I have a similar feeder but the Starlings do tend to hog it.

I also enjoyed the Chiffchaff on the previous post.

Hello Keith. The same thing happens here really...but I think the Goldcrest and Firecrest are partial to it so it is worth the expense to keep them coming.

Hello Jan.
I agree about the Coal Tit. Maybe it is the colour of the head...They are little spitfires and do not give you two chances. A remote control would be ideal and watch from the distance.
