Very impressive considering my garden lists about 5 species!! Living in the middle of a town is a real pain in the rear!

You are not the Queen by any chance, using the term 'garden' to describe the Balmoral Estate?
 
Lol. No, in fact my garden's quite small! I'm just lucky to live on the edge of farmland (which has been abandoned for several years!) and live right next to a large copse.
 
I've had about five more species since the last post, notably a pair of Linnets at the bird table and a Sedge warbler heard outside the house this evening!
