:) :yes:

Woodpecker at the tree - a while since I spotted one :D blackbirds - one female, tits, sparrows, starlings and about 5 goldfinches have been around these past couple of days - they've got all the adult markings but are noticeably smaller than the usual ones we see, which were there today too.

I tried to get a pic but they are flighty and don't stay on a feeder very long :bird2:

I've never seen so many chaffinches in the garden as I saw today - they seemed to be all over the place :laugh: A couple of years ago you'd be lucky to spot one.

Got a Robin that goes on the hanging seed feeder and the suet ball feeder. Clever little devil.

My Robin frequents the hanging seed feeders but I've never seen him attempt the fat balls. :)

Oh noo :hug2:

Robin goes on the suet candle and hanging suet pellet feeders here.

Mrs Blackbird came into the garden this morning when I was out there and picked up a small twig from the grass and hurried away :blackbird:
