I really wanted a big tub of meal worms as they're cheaper in bulk, but they only had 400g tubs so I got two of those and put them all in the last big tub I just emptied. The worms seem to be going faster than anything else at the moment. The fat balls are currently of little interest, but I don't know why. The suet pellets come a close second after the worms, but the nyger seeds don't seem to interest any of them. Squirrels have their own peanut feeder, that they're gradually destroying, and I have a squirrel proof one that has become popular with the birds recently.
We have one magpie that's the boss of the garden, but he's too big to get on the feeders so has to make do with whatever gets dropped on the ground. I do put some food on the ground for him, and for the robins and blackbirds.
