Two males: greenfinch and siskin. The Siskin has chased a great tit off from the feeder.

Fatfood shortened after jackdaws's dinner.

Will the fat fall today?

[asteria]

Jackdaws certainly know the answer.

Jackdaws certainly know the answer.

I think a better question is what time this morning the fat will fall.

[Hagnat]

The fat is gone and i missed its downfall.

Nuthatch chases Willow tit away.

Apart from large birds the greenfinch tries to chase off anyone who appears on the feeder.

Another Greenfinch with an abnormity, think this a different one than the first

Another Greenfinch with an abnormity...

What can this be? It looks swollen like cancer? Or do I see wrong?

[Bea]

I have no idea, but the bird seems unaffected by this, it is flying, eating ....

[Bea]

I think there was a refill of seeds (heard rustling sounds) and the cord which held the fatfood was taken aside

Unfortunately, the finches are those who are most vulnerable to disease at the feeder. Maybe it's because they often sit in the food, both at the feeder and on the ground, and that way get more often infected through excrements, while the tits mostly takes the food and fly away to eat it? At least it's my experience.
Of course it's many explanations.

08:44 - Gray- headed Woodpecker is looking for the fat food





On the ground maybe??

A jay was in the feeder at 8.20
