I must keep an eye out for them, Richard, as they favour next door's garden. They should be arriving in Bristol about now. It is usually the bluetits that I spot first, as you say - not so good at camouflage.

i also have a little wren [think thats what it is],and he or she has taken up residents in a bug box on our wall,theres a tiny tiny gap about inch or so and ive seen it go back and fourth in it.
Remember to keep your feeders filled up but in this time when the birds aren't eating quite so much from our feeders please remember to change any seed which has been hanging around untouched and to periodically clean your feeders to prevent spread of disease which the birds can be susceptible to at this time. Also if feeding the birds ensure you have a supply of fresh clean water available for them also.
Richard you also mentioned Red Admirals, I can report we still have the odd one fluttering around down here in Somerset as well as the odd bee!!...

Other than suet fat balls (which we don't have here...) What can I put in that doesn't spill out?
Regarding the concreting over of your neighbour's front garden, I thought that was illegal now because of flooding?
