Here they counted bird visits to both feeders and flowers in winter (July/August) and spring (September/October)
Happily, the results are good news. The team found that birds made 679 visits to feeders in winter when flowers were scarce, but only 90 visits in spring when flowers were abundant. They also found that it was only specialist nectivorous birds that used the feeders, rather than opportunistic nectar feeders.
