There seem to be none in the garden this year. Have they disappeared, or it it just my garden has become unattractive to them?

Quite a lot of assorted tits in my garden.

Every morning they are fighting for prime spot on the feeders

Blue and Great Tits galore here in Hampshire, but we never get sparrows!

Apparently long tailed tit numbers have increased substantially but seen very few blue tits here in the north west.

Loads of Blue Tits, Great Tits and Sparrows visiting my feeder at the moment smile Saw a lovely Bullfinch this morning too.

Reminds me, must buy more fat balls, they're polishing off three every couple of days at the moment.

Pair have a nest in the wall here, it's driving the pup crazy, she can hear the chicks chirping inside, then the parents sit on the gate complaining about the dog being there.

Have one regularly visiting the balcony of the flat I’m currently renting in the centre of York. But I do put food out for the little chap!

We had a garden full of blue tit fledglings today, which us particularly good for us as we have such an abundance of sparrows that tits and other smallbirds have always been quite few and far between in the garden.

We also seem to have a pair of great tits nesting at the moment too so it's a good year for seeing lots of tits wink

Blue tits are one of the birds on the rise. Greenfinches are a species that has taken a real knock in recent years due to issues with health.
