I just had a look at the overall tally so far. It suggests there are ten times as many Common Gulls in gardens as there are Black-Headed Gulls. This seems highly unlikely - perhaps more to do with the fact that Common Gull is on the list of common garden visitors, and BHG isn't.

Yes, not unusual numbers for Chaffinches and Siskins at this time of year. On really snowy days there can be over 100 Chaffinches in the garden.

Wow that must be quite a sight!
Out of interest, what do you feed them?

Sunflower hearts, Nijer seed, peanuts and suet pellets.
