Not surprisingly the Greenfinches just knock the Goldfinches off the perch. However they are just as bad as the Goldfinches when it comes to fighting.
What did surprise me a little was how feisty the little Blue Tits are.
In there at any opportunity and standing their ground as much as possible.
Sometimes even when faced with the utmost threatening... "I told you keep off my food"
They always come back for more, though...

It's not easy to get anything done with so much going on outside! We have the same mob, plus great tits and siskins. How often do you need to refill???
Hi We have to fill daily!!!!
Excellent photos guys! Do you get unwelcome guests too such as huge magpies or blackbirds?
We've found that the Mr. Creosotes [Pollygarter's name for our goldfinches] will strip the mixed grain feeder clean... just to get to the sunflower seeds!! However, the ground feeders get to eat that.
Currently we are filling every two days or so for the grain feeder & the big feeder out in the field... weekly[ish] for the peanuts and fatballs!
They are about but don't tend to come to the feeders.
