I decided that I would move the peanut feeder further away from the house due to the fact that not that many birds were coming to this feeder, choosing to go for the feeders further away. This proved to be a great success; the Blue Tits became a lot less nervous sitting on the feeder for longer periods and today another bird has joined the pair making three Blue Tits. The Great Tits are now coming to the garden regularly and displaying less fear. The flock of Sparrows is growing fast which I am very pleased to see.
When I was watching today there was a new visitor; a Pied Wagtail was wagging around below the feeders picking up the dropped seed with the Thrush and the Robin.
With the warmer weather the Redwings have left the garden, they can still be spotted in large flocks out in the fields along with Field-fairs and Lapwings a bird I haven't ever seen around here before.
