This bird was among many of its kind frequenting the neighbour's feeder today. Although there was a mixture of seed in the dispenser, these birds seem to prefer sunflower seeds. They are also particularly fond of this simple hanging seed dispenser, possible due to its proximity to our hazel tree where they tend to 'escape' to between nibbles.

Love the way you are setting this up, Beth, especially with the links. Tried the song link though without success...advised not to download. Love that idea though...that will be really useful.
