Feel sorry for the tits in my mother's garden.I witnessed them last Friday,coming to the feeder,only to find it empty.She happily feeds the birds,on the back lawn,blackbirds,robin,thrush,seagulls,pheasant,fieldfare,starlings,rooks,pigeons,turtle doves,sparrows,hedge and house,wrens,but not the tits, and in doing so forgets that the tits prefer the quiet hedgerows.
It is taking a very long time to persuade the Tits to come into my garden.
I have had bird feeders there for six months, and they are only just beginning to feed from them.
