My #BumbleBird patch still has a bit of food for those seeking pollen & nectar. Not much though! The goldfinches have moved onto it & are loving the teasels. #CotswoldSeeds
Where are all the birds that could be eating all this food in our #BumbleBird patch. Even the sparrows have disappeared after rearing three broods in our garden. @rspbengland.bsky.social
To create access to the wealth of seed in our #BumbleBird patch, I’ve created a strip across it. Hopefully this enough… @rspb.bsky.social
I’m assuming these two bumblebees have died of old age? One last feed & the heavy rain finished them off? #BumbleBird patch @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social
Goldfinches now using the #BumbleBird patch, harvesting mustard seed developing in the pods. @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social
The #BumbleBird patch is truly buzzing this morning & fortunately the honeybees are yet to arrive! @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social
Thanks for letting me know the time the two images were captured and also the pointer to your #BumbleBird posts. Fascinating! Yes, I'm sure there were still sounds & sights of bumbles on that patch! Watched my garden clover patch mid-pm y/day. Plenty of active pollinators including solitary bees. 🐝
Very pleased to see this Syrphid in our garden on the #BumbleBird patch It’s a black-tailed aphid eater!
7.05pm. The nectar quality of flowers is different throughout the day; I still had bumbles on the mustard in our #BumbleBird patch.
The diversity of pollinators using our #BumbleBird patch is increasing. Unfortunately honeybees have found it too. No #BeeWashing here!
I'm gonna act super c̶u̶t̶e̶ hot!

I’m aiming to use only non-natives in the #BumbleBird patch & create a native woodland flora in our mini-woodlands, hence snowdrop removal.
What's in your #BumbleBird patch? I can see teasels but not sure what else🤔
BumbleBird patch with teasels, mustard, & triticale prominent.
With the move away from feeding stations for birds by key organisations, more natural feeding stations like our #BumbleBird patch make a good alternative. However, they do take up a lot of room.
It’s all about timing! A rainbow appeared for a few moments over our #BumbleBird patch earlier today.
Goldfinches have been enjoying feeding on the teasels in our #BumbleBird patch during this cold snap.
