Having posted elsewhere that my garden has been very quiet lately, I have been surprised at the number of visitors today. I guess the colder weather has brought the birds to the feeders. Today I have had huge numbers of blue tits and great tits, two coal tits, five blackbirds, lots of chaffinches, two greenfinches, a robin, a treecreeper and a nuthatch in. Shame I wasn't doing the RSPB bird count!

My garden has been very busy these last few days. Nothing particularly unusual, but lots of the usual! Starlings by the dozen, Goldies, Chaffies and Greenies, Blue, Great and Coal tits, Pied Wagtails, Woodies, CDs, Robin, Blackies, Jackdaws and a couple of Crows.
Not in my garden, but OH was out on an estate near the coast the other afternoon, shortly before dark, and saw dozens and dozens of Yellowhammers in one hedgerow. he said that they looked like Christmas decorations as they were in gorse and the low sun was glinting on them. We used to see up to 20 at a time on one of our walks, but we feel lucky to see any at all most of the time.

We even had them in the garden years ago, Wendy & on the farmland, a couple of hundred yards away, edging the moor & on the moorland itself there used to be many. Not one around there now & nothing environmentally has changed up there either.
That is lovely they are still around your area.
We used to get Whitethroat & Lesser Whitethroat there & Stonechat as well, now none.

They do get very skittish don't they Val?! I saw 19 Goosanders gathered on the river here this morning and they really didn't like the people walking past with their dogs!
Oh, I finally sorted out uploading an old video of the mouse in my garden enjoying a sandwich. Only took about two years. :-O

Cute little chap!
For the first time this winter, I had a LTT visit the fat balls this morning. Just the one mind you! Hope he/she will bring the rest of the flock soon.
