Funny, I only now realised not all of them have that red spot on the back of the head.

Well, I just feed them; I'm not an ornithologist.

Anyway, thank you, Google. It seems it's only the males that have it - and the ones with a bigger red patch on top of their heads are the fledglings.

Live and learn.

They are all greedy little so-and-sos though. They're regulars but not quite daily visitors - and when they do visit those fatballs disappear mighty quickly.

Lots of red hot bird action around my fat balls today. Word must have got out.

Sorry! can't talk right now.
If I could talk, I would tell you that I found this fat ball in your garden
