I have been
Providing peanuts and mixed seeds to 3 regular bluetits, unfortunately one of them was run over and killed yesterday. I have 2 doves that come a couple of evenings each week and eat seeds from a bowl. 1 Robin arrives occasionally but just has a look around without eating anything. Other larger birds do fly on to terrace and eat everything which annoys me. I have only been here 1 year so hope to have more birds in the future. I am surprised that sparrows never come up here even though I know there is a nest very close by.
