For Yvonne: Yes, this time of year seems to be their most gregarious in flocks and like you, we see many in the trees around, but I count only 14-20 that actually visit my feeders for seed or honey-water at any time. Obviously most prefer nectar from favourite tree flowers which are at their peak - which is as it should be.
