Very nice PB. Snow in the garden today... had a pair of greenfinch on a feeder and a dunnock collecting the cast off's

I happened to glance outside towards the bird bath and was delighted to see a Song Thrush enjoying the facility . I have not seen one in the garden for several years.

Very nice Jack we haven't had any for years...

Nice Jack, don't think we've ever had thrushes except Blackbirds, and still got a couple about

Good spot JS, not had one in the garden now for several years.

That's good news Nick, if a bit early maybe! How are the numbers?
We had a few in yesterday, but not as many as previous years, and a 2nd male blackbird has been scurrying about
