They arrived on 14 Jan and are still here, visiting the sunflower kernel and Niger seed feders throughout the day.I'll be sorry lose their contribution to bird 'music' in the garden when they finally depart. The males spend a great deal of time in our Birch tree, burbling away, and with the occasional rasping sound ending a call sequence.</blockquote>
