I've put up my feeders today. What will be the 1st species of bird to feed on them in the morning?

Blue or great tit for me. We've not taken our feeders down all year melv, do you think they should fend for themselves in the summer months? Must say consumption has doubled in the last three weeks, since it got a bit nippy.

I keep one feeder loaded with sunflower hearts on offer all year and I can tell you I have a Robin that feeds several times a day. May not be the same Robin every time of course but when I have bothered to check it has always been a female. Occasionally a Blackbird will attempt to feed, usually to be chased off by 2-3 Robins which suddenly appear from nowhere LOL.
We have what is supposed to be a squirrel proof feeder; took our resident family of three Greys about two months to work out that if one hung in the tree and pulled the bottom of the feeder inwards then No2 could feed off it and No3 could pick ip the spilled ones off the ground. I think they can beat anything given time.
Thanks for BA, Melv.
