Hi all
A Hampshire garden, 30 m by 7m, small urban, almost at the edge of town, panelled fence down the left and back sides and on the right low chain link fence and courtesy of the neighbour shrubs and low trees, beyond the back some well established oaks and in the neighbours gardens a selection of conifers not a lot of low level cover but hope to address this next year.

I hope I inspired you to drop a line, its great to know whats coming into gardens and what feed is attracting them, I would love to get a nuthatch, but I'm far to far away from good woodland. I am still in eternal hope of Greenfinchs visiting. When I was growing up in Nottinghamshire we always got loads of Greenfinchs at our bird table in the 60's with none of the fancy feeds you can get today.

Keep the garden records coming
