Great stuff:t:
When putting the trail cam out this week a stunning Treecreeper landed no more than 6 feet from me.

Are they rare for you Rich?

On a three day week for a while now so can get some daylight garden birding in

Hi Dave. We see them a bit more regularly now. I think they’re either on their way to the river Neath, or over to the Gnoll ponds.

Yesterday we had a Female Bullfinch having a go at landing on the sunflower hears, but annoyingly disturbed by a squirrel above.
Also a Heron landed in the trees above, flew off and came back again but didn’t stay. Now that was a sight i’d never expect to see!

Hi Will. We had a pair of Goldcrests this morning as well:t:. Whilst having a coffee at lunchtime it was good to see a Wren carrying nesting material in to the shed.

Hi Rich, bonus to see a pair!!
Has the new camera arrived GB? Looking forward to seeing the results.
Best today has been a couple of Goldfinch, Siskin, Treecreeper and I’m sure we now have a pair of Stock Doves. Will try and confirm tomorrow.

I once saw a winter flock of over 20 male and female Bullfinch roaming through my local forest many years ago, worthy of a county recording. Have had upto three males in the garden before but not feeding alongside each other.
Great to see for sure

20 bullfinch?!?! Not sure I could handle all that pink plumage at once !
We had a pair of Bullfinches yesterday and the female was hovering and having ago at feeding on the feeder. The male was sitting in the tree nearby. Today there was a male at the feeder so I assume it was the same as yesterday. It’s good to see Bullfinches regularly as i’m used to seeing them once in a while.
I have a platform type feeder which they would probably prefer, but I just know those Squirrels would be all over it!
