The species listed here can often be seen on or below your bird table and feeders, in Britain, and depending on your location can be attracted to gardens using different types of food. It is quite likely that you will see other species in or over your Garden. These may include Magpies and other Crows and Gulls which will often visit UK Gardens for bread or another easy meal. In the winter you may be able to attract a wide variety of species, and in greater numbers. You can help many birds by feeding all year round but particularly in the winter when their natural food may become hard to find or unavailable. Seed eating finches often rely on bird tables and feeders in the early part of the year when their natural food is harder to find. You may well attract more unusual finches in winter such as Siskin and Brambling to seed feeders, peanuts, bird tables and feeding stations.
