new feeders = more birds

I purchased some more feeders yesterday and i have just put them up, they have suet/fat balls in the one, and in the other three(1 already up) there is a mixture of wild bird seed and sunflower hearts. i hope this will attract more birds.

Gaileys and chasewater

Today i went birding with my mate jason and my grandad, it was quite good and we went further than expected. We went to gaileys first and the species we saw were buzzard, kestrel, redwing, black redstart, grey heron, grey wagtail, pied wagtail, wren. We then went to chasewater and met some of jasons twitcher friends who were looking for an iceland gull, fortunately amongst thousands of gulls we saw it.

Gulls

I keep seeing a flock of either doves or pigeons and they keep landing on the same roof
