Not the kind of tits I was hoping for, although plenty do post on here. Apart from you Keno of course. |  | |  |

Well I do put my fat balls out for them...
[edit] Good article by the way, and it is Great Tits rather than Blue Tits that nibble on my balls here... [Post edited 26 Oct 2021 16:52]

Very few but I notice some nasty chaffinching when I spend a long time watching the bird table... | |

Ok, I get it, hilarious. There’s a serious issue here though - we shouldn’t just be focusing on the tits, apparently. |  |

So you're suggesting that we give some attention to, say, the woodcock? | |

Indeed. We need to look to other habitats. Woodcock is a good example although they are constrained to wading habitats, but what about woodland and bush fauna? It's all important. | |

I think it’s important that bushes are kept well trimmed | |

Well, quite. Horticultural maintenance is a vastly underrated. If you don't keep things clean and tidy, you'll attract the wrong sort of creatures. | |

You are right of course, and as well as getting too gung ho about our bird tables we can over garden too. One subject I would like to see a good write up on is hedgerows - when the British Isles were close to one hundred per cent tree cover, many thousands of years ago, there could not have been too much that resembled hedgerow - a mainly man made environment that provided habitats for many animals. But did it also change the balance in nature in the way that the articles suggests our bird feeding is doing? And one of the few things I disliked about our membership of the European Union was the stimulus to grub up hedgerows in the drive to compete with the United States on a prairie farming landscape, which has unbalanced nature from a pattern that was fruitful for many thousands of years. | |
