Notes: The final CES session (visit 2024/25.08) at this feeder.  A flock of Long-tailed Tits that came for the fat balls bolstered the few (locals?) attending the feeder. Comparison with last winters matching visit shows the lack of Blue Tits and species variety characteristic of the current winter.
