Wow! Just Wow! - your pictures are amazing.

What do you feed the finches? I had a feeder and used the Nyjer seed, but it became so expensive to buy I had to stop. Aside from that I attracted so many finches that I had a huge mess of seed shells and finch poop everywhere.

I believe it's called Woodland Wild Bird Seed....it's mostly the little yellow round seeds that looks like what you feed parakeets, but has some sunflower seeds in it. The 20 lb. bags have been available at $4.99 a bag, and I feed it kind of sparingly to make it last.
I have fed the Niger at times, but right now can't afford to.

Thank you for the compliments on the pictures!

Thanks, I will have to look into this. Nyjer seed is $47.99 for a 20 pound bag and even with free shipping that is a lot of money. They were plowing through 20 pounds in less than a month. It is even more expensive here in the stores.

Great photos! You have such pretty garden birds across the pond. I loved watching the birds in the nature reserves and the likes when I visited the USA a couple of years back.

Great pics. It's not all that often that you see Jays and Cardinals socializing. Guess it's a "food thing" that gets them together in this weather.
