Hi there, sunflower hearts and niger seeds are sure to attract them. If you were to grow seeding thistles they will soon flock in. :wink:

Hi
As Laura says - Niger seed is an absolute Goldfinch magnet. I'm not sure how they find it but put some out and they won't take long to become regular visitors. The two pairs which visit my garden are back now with their chicks and teaching them how to use the feeder.
Regards

That's a nice varied list of visitors, please let us know how you get on with the Goldfinches :wink:

Hi dogsspeech,

The food you are providing and the species visiting so far are great.;)

I'm sure if you add the suggested food that this should attract not only Goldfinches, but hopefully Siskins and possibly Redpolls?

I'm really pleased you have a Jay visiting your garden.:-D

I wish you all the best in attracting as many different species as possible.

Please let us know how you get on Paul.;-)
