Unfortunately work got in the way of a potential garden tick today, there was a Bee-eater about 100 metres from my garden which was last seen flying towards my house. Some consolation from a bird on the feeders this afternoon.

Interesting that while the UK is seeing lots more Hawfinches than usual, here in my part of France I've only had the odd singletons instead of the flocks I'd usually see in October. Still, the first heavy frost has brought good numbers of finches into the garden, including this one a few minutes ago:

Interestingly when I totalled up the number of species physically in the garden and not out at sea or flying over I have hit 30 species this year.

The bee hives are right next to where it was hanging out, although it was also eating butterflies yesterday.
