I declare the Great Bird-Feeding Experiment over.
Sorry, blue tits and great tits, but the starlings have also found the feeders, and since I've just had to sprint downstairs with a dustpan and brush and clean up the mess caused by a feeder falling two storeys to Mrs Ground-Floor's patio, due to the suckers failing under the weight of two starlings, I've taken the feeders down. Right at the start of winter, too. But I was always conscious that my feeding the birds was reliant on Mrs Ground-Floor's good nature, and I can't imagine that her good nature would survive very long under the strain of a constant rain of suet pellets and the odd feeder.
I shall miss the antics of the blue tits.
