Here in our little garden we're also trying to attract our flying friends. We've been pretty successful on the bird front with a few regular visitors, notably Gary the Goldfinch who we think is now supporting a small family as we haven't seen his Mrs for about 3 weeks.
Goldfinches love Nyjer Seed and the feeder we bought does the trick brilliantly, but we've also bought some Teasel seeds which I'm told is a bit of a Goldfinch delicacy. We planted them a couple of weeks ago but apparently they take 18 months to flower so hopefully Gary & Co will still be around.
We'll keep you posted on Gary's antics.
