Hi Euan,
Just looked . . not a lot just now, 2 Blue Tits, a Great Tit and a Robin. But if I count in the eight or so neighbours' gardens (all, like ours, quite small) I can see from the upstairs windows, can add in a few more Blue Tits, a Wren, a Greenfinch or two and a Wood Pigeon. And in the distance, a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Mistle Thrush calling in the local park, and Magpies & Jackdaws flying around.

Not a lot right now, which is hardly surprising as we've had 26mm of rain since midnight, and 59mm in the last 37 hours! :eek!:
All I've seen today so far: 2 bluetits, 2 blackbirds, 1 great tit, 4 collared doves, 3 goldfinches and 1 nuthatch
If I look at my records for the BTO, last week the tally was: 2 bluetits, 2 robins, 4 house sparrows, 6 starlings, 1 dunnock, 3 chaffinches, 2 great tits, 1 greenfinch, 7 collared doves, 1 coal tit, 1 goldcrest, 2 goldfinches, 2 magpies, 1 nuthatch, 1 song thrush, 1 sparrowhawk and 1 woodpigeon.
These are the numbers of each species seen together at the same time.

Talk about tempting providence? This morning I said to Lynne aren’t we lucky with the squirrels. This is the seconded winter that we have fed the birds and even though, we see a squirrel two or three times a week, it has never done any damage, up until to day :eek!: !!!

The garden is quite vacant at the moment. Except for the Grey Squirrel that is hanging upside down like a bat as he tries to finish the suit cake we put out for the newly arrived Downy Woodpeckers. I recon I'll have to figure out a way to deal with the little menace.

Yesterday, I had one American goldfinch, amazingly enough.
Last week, I had one pine siskin... again, pretty amazing for this time of year.

Been very quiet here lately, but they are starting to return. I've got 3 very loud pileated woodpeckers, 2 tufted titmouse, 1 chickadee, 1 pine warbler, 1 redwinged blackbird, 1 downy woodpecker and 3 squirrels. However, we're in indian summer here right now with temps in the 70's.
