Blue tits (between 20 - 30 individuals)
Great tits (no more than 4 at present)
Chaffinch (small group visiting daily)
Robin (3 max at anyone time)
Coal tits (2 breeding pairs)
Dunnock (at least 2 pairs)
Greenfinch (small family max of 6)
Nuthatch (one breeding pair - with young in mid-summer)
Black/white woodpecker (one local family) (at present see either male or female)
Grey squirrels - they like to eat the peanuts as much as the birds. (family of 4. Male, Female and last years two young).
Pied wagtail - live locally but visiting garden for food at present.
Not a regular visitor. (one at present).
Blackbird - has moved up my long garden when it showed looking for food. A few locally but usally stay out of way at bottom of garden eating snails.
And Song/Mistle thrush - another one after the snails. It's like a graveyard at the bottom of my garden.
And not forgetting House-sparrows and Jackdaws.
Forgot to add Magpies.
I do have a Sparrowhawk to that I have seen a few times after the small birds. Comes diving into my garden chasing after the House-Sparrows.
Also had Phesant one Winter. Had one male and two females also feeding off the birdseed on the ground.
And most add the goldfinches (only 2 or 3) to that I see once in a blue moon. (Thanks Ian - nearly forgot all about them).
This is my regular cast of stars in my glos. garden.
