British Garden Bird. Last time the RSPB did a survey the Robin was the winner.
Are you a fan of the little red breasted cuties or do you prefer one of the tits, finches, thrushes or other feathered lovelies that brighten up your garden? |

"Long tail tits that do a smash and grab raid in a little mob 
They do, especially if you have fat ball feeders out. But they are gorgeous little things "
Yes, it's the suet balls they choose usually. Apparently they are not tits, but their chatter is cute. I normally hear them before I see them. |

Don't have a fav, they're all pretty cool.
Not a fan of pigeons because, for birds famed for their navigation, they can't seem to get out of the way safely, they fly IN TO you not away.
And seagulls are pests.
I saw a little cluster of blackbirds taking a bath in a huge puddle this week and they were so cute I'll vote them today 😁🫶 |

"we get a good mix of birds,,
goldfinch
long tailed tits
great tits
blue tits... but my little fav was a gold gold crest so tiny robins were attacking it
"
Gold crests are really tiny. I've never seen anything attack them, they sort of scurry about in foliage like wrens. I get lots of robin's who don't fight. Apparently if there is a regular plentiful food supply, they are less territorial. |

I see them at the garden centre a couple of miles away too. I think because of their size they don't get noticed, and because they scoot about in bushes, people mistake them for wrens. |

"Robin for me, there's been one coming to my garden for a while now, I buy Robin food mix for it ❤️"
Robins, blackbird, thrushes and dunnocks, love porridge oats thrown on the ground, preferably with a bit of plant cover. |
