I don't have any pics but I constantly have a couple of Goldfinch families feeding from the sunflowe heart feeder at the bottom of the border. There have been several broods of little ones and they're in the garden for a lot of the day. I do love them although they stop me from gardening as I don't like to disturb them, we've come to a compromise of sorts. I let them eat for a while and then do what I need to, or wait until there are'nt any around the feeders. Blue Tits come in autumn winter and spring but don't seem to be around during the summer.
Other than that, I put out mealyworms and fat balls on the ground and they're eaten by the Starlings and Robin. During most of the months apart from high summer I also put raisins or sultanas every morning and the Blackbird loves them.
The Blue Jay population has increased around here. Usually one would stop in my yard for seed maybe twice a year. They were always very nervous and would take off if they saw me. This summer and fall they have been hanging around all day and every day and seem quite use to me. Two on my bird seed bench a few days ago.

Birdies were hungry this morning.
Lovely pics Johnny. You are so fortunate with them feeding from your hand.
Thanks Joyce, I get a lot of enjoyment feeding my little friends.
Those are great pics.

Beautiful birds Johnny. I hope they continue to visit.
The birds were very hungry down along the river today. Two days of wind and snow, poor little things.
Mr. Downy Woodpecker was even hungry and came in for seconds and thirds.
Amazing pictures. A real-life Dr Dolittle!
Wow!
